The Halcyon Discrepancy

About this book

Kaia Nwosu was once the Solar Concord's most brilliant Verdict Auditor, ensuring absolute justice across the Halcyon Circuit—a ring of mobile court-stations orbiting a dim neutron star where time dilation separates trials, appeals, and sentencing. Now disgraced and exiled after a politically engineered scandal, she works obscure contracts on the outermost, fastest-moving station. When an anonymous tip exposes a temporal anomaly in a closed murder case on the innermost station, Kaia is pulled back into the system that broke her. Navigating non-linear clues hidden across decades of relative time, she teams up with archivist Nayan Banskota to unravel a conspiracy orchestrated by high-ranking judges. As Kaia descends the gravity well, she must confront her past mistakes, evade assassins, and expose the truth before the statute of limitations literally runs out on the innermost ring.
