Across centuries and continents, a single object binds strangers who never meet: a small carved disk, its surface humming with an eye that watches back.
From an ancient desert caravan under threat of things with too many eyes, to a Beirut painter haunted by a name whispered in a lecture hall, to a former intelligence officer confessing the quiet cruelties he greenlit in service of something he calls the ledger Paradigm weaves together voices separated by centuries but bound by the same terrible arithmetic: ancient entities who count, who tally, and who require hands willing to do their counting for them.
As the threads converge, a small group of unlikely witnesses a curator, an artist, a whistleblower, and the descendants of those who came before must decide whether to destroy what they've uncovered or use it to finally hold the ledger accountable. But some doors, once opened, cannot simply be closed.
A sprawling, genre-bending work of cosmic horror and literary fiction, Paradigm asks what it costs to be complicit in something vast and ancient and what it takes to resist becoming just another entry in someone else's book.
