The Faithful's Pyre

In the prosperous but spiritually bankrupt nation of Nordmark, a young nun's public self-immolation shatters the veneer of the Sacred Vow Church. Her brother, a disgraced financial journalist, discovers her death was not an act of madness but a programmed protest against a vast conspiracy. Together with a reclusive data ghost, he follows a trail of illicit funds and silenced victims, learning that the Church's only true deity is capital. Their joint mission of radical exposure and digital sabotage turns into a brutal purification, etching into the public consciousness that money is the era's most faithful creed, and a believer's corpse its cheapest epitaph.
