The Fifth Inflection

'Let justice be done, though the world burn.' A century ago, an impoverished young man named Jagat was found guilty of assassinating the director of the great city of Peruma, his alleged crime sparking a bloody revolution. He was sentenced to the highest form of punishment - a hundred years of cryostasis with the promise of revival should his innocence ever be proven, or else culminating in death if it is not. And as he slept through the decades, tensions in the city grew. Just a week before Jagat is officially due to be executed, Nila, an ambitious law student, is asked to reopen his case. It's the opportunity of a lifetime, a chance to make her name. With Jagat's time running out, Nila must reach back into the past to understand what truly happened a hundred years ago. But as she investigates the case, she clashes with shadowy forces who would do anything to let the truth die with Jagat. As her peers compete for accolades and class rankings, Nila's case could determine the very future of Peruma.
