Volume 5: Requiem
Dark | Mysterious | Suspenseful
Taking on the patriarchy, one evil man at a time
Silent Voices, Relentless Justice – Volume 5
Some men preach salvation. Others build their legacy on the bones of the forgotten.
To the public, Jeffrey Franklin is a miracle in the flesh: a former baseball phenom turned beloved megachurch pastor, drawing thousands to his sermons and millions to his empire. But behind the pulpit lies a darker truth—one built on trauma, manipulation, and the quiet disappearance of those who trusted him most.
Born in the desert town of Searchlight, Nevada, Jeffrey was marked from the beginning. A twin lost at birth. A mother broken by grief. And a childhood stolen by predators who wore collars and crossed themselves before committing the unspeakable. By the time the world noticed him, the damage had already been done.
He rose to power by charming those who were overlooked—wealthy, aging women longing for connection, legacy, and grace. What he offered instead was exploitation. And when their usefulness ran out, so did their lives.
He thought no one would ever question it.
He was wrong.
When one woman begins to unravel the truth, the Circle takes interest. But not everyone calling for justice is on the outside.
Someone close—someone who once believed—has seen the rot from within. And this time, the reckoning will come from both sides of the altar.
