The Quiet Archive

Elias Vance is a man of quiet order, the head archivist at the University of Meridian, where his world is one of dust, delicate paper, and the sacred silence of preserved history. But when his wife is stolen from him by the city's most revered billionaire philanthropist, Lucas Crowe, Elias's grief curdles into a cold, meticulous fury. Using the tools of his trade—patience, precision, and a deep understanding of how the truth is hidden—he begins to architect the ultimate act of vengeance. He will meticulously dismantle Crowe's glittering empire, not with a bomb, but with a single, damning document placed in the perfect light. In a high-stakes game against a ruthless opponent, the quiet archivist will learn that to preserve one truth, he must become a raging storm.
