What if the game was rigged long before you ever sat at the table?

In a world ruled by illusion, The Architect Smiled Before the Cards Were Dealt peels back the velvet curtain to reveal the hands behind the game — silent, shadowed, and centuries in motion.

Told through a gripping allegory that dances between fiction and revelation, this teaser novella lays the foundation for a mind-bending journey into the systems that shape our lives: media, money, government, and history itself. But beneath the story lies something deeper — a coded message. One you were never meant to see.

This is more than a story.

This is the beginning of a series unlike any other.

The Architect Smiled is part of a five-book conspiracy thriller series, each volume aligned with the four suits of a deck of playing cards — Hearts (Media & Mind Control), Diamonds (Financial Power), Clubs (Government & Deep State), and Spades (Hidden History & Science) — plus a wild card Joker edition that breaks all the rules.

Every card. Every chapter. Every clue.

The Architect Smiled Before the Cards Were Dealt is your invitation to the table.

Just remember — once you see the truth, there's no folding.
