Anatomy of the Forbidden Mind
Fog rolled over 1956 Tallinn like a living thing, swallowing cobblestones, lanterns, and the edges of the city in silence. Yvette Ordene moved through it, coat drawn tight, grey eyes sharp, aware of everything around her—and yet blind to the presence that had already begun to surface.
————————————
Yvette Ordene, a twenty-four-year-old detective, believes in patterns, logic, and human explanations. She knows her city—its rhythms, its silences, its lies. Or so she thinks.
When bodies begin turning up completely drained of blood, untouched in ways no forensic logic can justify, Yvette is pulled into an investigation that fractures her understanding of reality. Each clue draws her deeper into a hidden world masked by political tension, fear, and carefully managed silence.
He had seen empires rise and fall, and in all that time, he had learned patience. Where Yvette seeks truth, he shapes only what she is meant to encounter.
Where she moves, he bends the world around her, ensuring every step carries both risk and revelation.
As winter tightens its grip, moments of warmth, humor, and fragile human connection clash with mounting dread.
Anomalies spread. Explanations grow thin. And the sense of being hunted becomes impossible to ignore.
What she believes to be an investigation is, in truth, a carefully managed descent.
