In the city-state of Logotha, the law is absolute: when you are wronged, you have one year to exact the same punishment upon the one who wronged you. No more. No less.
The story opens on three bodies.
Three children - each still clutching a guilty verdict - have chosen death over the law's retribution. In a nearby room, their mother rocks in silence, whispering a single word over and over.
Retributers.
This is where Logotha begins.
Thesus Messian is a defense attorney who has always believed in something the law was never built to hold: mercy. He is also a man the law has given every reason to abandon it. What he chooses to do next has never been done in the history of Logotha - and will change it forever.
A gripping drama of justice, vengeance, and the radical power of sacrificial love.
In Logotha, the law always gets what it's owed. But who pays the price?
