The Kingmaker Protocol

Corbin Vance was Aethelgard’s premier strategic forecaster, a man who could predict the city's every move. But he never forecast his sister's murder. Her death reveals a terrifying truth: the city's omnipotent corporation, Veridian Gate, is pacifying the population through the water supply—a project called "Soma." To avenge her, Corbin must abandon the man he was. Using his unparalleled intellect, he becomes "The Architect," a shadowy strategist who doesn't fight with fists, but with leverage. He will identify the city's most broken and powerful players—a disgraced detective, a ruthless smuggler—and manipulate them into becoming his unwitting pawns in a silent war. His goal is not just revenge. It is the complete demolition of Veridian's control. But as his machinations ignite a city-wide power struggle, he faces a devastating question: can he dismantle the monster without becoming a greater one himself?
