THE RAVEN'S CALL
The Raven's Call: A Frozen Evidence Prequel
FBI Special Agent Erik Thorn has built his career on seeing patterns others miss. When elementary school teacher Victoria Clark is kidnapped, Erik's profile leads him straight to the killer's location. He requests a warrant. And waits. Three days of bureaucratic delays. Three days while Victoria suffers in darkness.
When the warrant finally arrives, they find her body. Dead for eighteen hours. The math is brutal: if Erik had trusted his instincts instead of procedure, she might have survived.
But Victoria's death wasn't random tragedy, it was orchestrated. The killer, who calls himself The Architect, designed every detail as a test. To see if Erik would choose rules over results. To teach him that the system he serves values paperwork over lives.
The lesson works. Broken and guilt-ridden, Erik resigns from the FBI and retreats to Alaska, seeking isolation in the vast wilderness. But The Architect has followed him north, leaving carved wooden ravens as proof that Erik is still being watched, studied, and manipulated.
The game has only just begun. And Erik is becoming exactly what The Architect wants him to be.
