In Karnis City, justice isn't blind. It wears a black mask.
By day, Will is a quiet high school math teacher, keeping his head down in a metropolis rotting under the absolute control of a ruthless underworld syndicate. He grades papers, avoids trouble, and blends perfectly into the smog-choked background.
But by night, Will becomes the very thing the cartel fears.
Armed with lethal training, three combat knives, and a blinding rage, he is The Dark Cipher-a brutal, ghost-like vigilante dismantling the city's corrupt criminal empire piece by piece. When the police look the other way, he breaks the doors down. He strikes with calculated efficiency and vanishes into the rain.
But the syndicate is tired of bleeding.
As the criminal elite deploy their deadliest, cold-blooded operatives to hunt the vigilante down, Will is dragged into a violent game of cat and mouse that will push his physical limits and test his shattered morality. With the net closing in, a dangerous new assassin tracking his every move, and the ghosts of his tragic past threatening to pull him under, Will must decide how much of his own humanity he is willing to sacrifice.
He wants to save the city. But the city might destroy him first.
The Dark Cipher is a gritty, lightning-paced action thriller about vengeance, survival, and the heavy price of taking the law into your own hands.
