Sins of the Bloodline

In the fictional European nation of Valdoria, the Elliot family has long been whispered to carry a hereditary curse—a predisposition for surveillance and cruelty that awakens in times of collapse. When a geomagnetic storm destroys all electronic infrastructure, law evaporates overnight. Archivist Lena Elliot uncovers classified documents revealing her ancestors secretly designed the nation’s unconstitutional mass surveillance program, codenamed Operation Oracle. As warlords rise from the chaos, her estranged brother Viktor exploits the family’s dark legacy of psychological manipulation to build the first brutal dictatorship from the ashes, forcing Lena to confront whether the blood in her veins will make her a monster or a savior.
