Debt of the Gavel

Former star prosecutor Elias Vane sent refugee Kael Dinh to his death, only to watch the real killer walk free days after the execution. Trapped by a web of blackmail, forbidden desire, and a justice system that feasts on its own, Elias discovers that the chains of emotional bondage cut deeper than any prison cell. His only escape is to burn down the temple he helped build—with himself inside.
