Verdict

5 part of the "Mirrors of Vei Lin" series. In a world where a morning jog might end in the jaws of a T-Rex and back alleys hemorrhage portals to other realities, Wei Lin—a man with a stalker’s past and a soul scorched by war—guards the Compass, a relic that points the way through worlds and time. Trapped within the shadow-realm of the Continental, Wei Lin encounters those long since erased from official chronicles. John Wick and Eve become his guides into history’s jagged underside. Here, truth is poisoned with polonium, and the fates of the greats—from Chaplin to Pavlova—are rewritten by agents of the House of the Returned. Wei Lin is forced to choose: remain a perpetual fugitive or become the scalpel used to correct reality itself. But when the rules are written in the blood of others, there is only one response left: the Verdict.
