The Guardian's Ward

The sterile scent of the hospital barely masks the unsettling news that has just reached you. Your estranged father, Patrick Dalton, is dead. A heart attack, they say. Yet, even as you process the shock, a strange encounter at his house – hushed voices, ransacked rooms, and the mention of your name – hints at something far more sinister than a natural death.

Then, an even more bizarre twist: your father’s attorney informs you that a man you barely know, the intense and rugged Henry Bell, has been appointed as your legal guardian until you turn twenty-five. Guardian? You are a successful, independent doctor, capable of handling anything. Or so you thought, until you find a cryptic, password-protected USB drive hidden in your father’s study, a drive that might be the key to everything, and that someone is desperate enough to kill for.
