The Science of Seventy-Seven
By Anna Teleki
One heart. Two worlds. Seventy-seven reasons to stay broken.
In the sterile silence of the 16th Arrondissement, Dr. Robert Léopold "Léo" Taxil is a god. Known as the "God of Glass," he is a man of clinical ice and surgical perfection. He lives by the logic of the scalpel, haunted by the six hearts he couldn't save and the heavy, borrowed rhythm of the one beating in his own chest.
In the frozen gutters of the 11th, Rozanna Le Faith is a ghost. Once a brilliant mind, she is now a shadow scavenging the city's waste to pay for a voice. She speaks to the "God" through cryptic messages in the classifieds, risking everything for a connection she can't afford.
Léo thinks he can "repair" her. Rozanna knows that some things are meant to stay shattered. As their obsession deepens, a single number begins to haunt the space between them: Seventy-Seven. It is a cost, a debt, and a countdown. It is the agonizing logic of the gutter, and Léo is about to learn that even a surgeon can't calculate the price of a soul.
The God of Glass is watching. The Ghost is waiting. The count begins at seventy-seven.
Are you ready to face the chaos?
