To Make the World Obey, Chapters 17-25

The hunt for the city's new monsters begins on two fronts. As Detective Deborah Samson and her partner Freddy Plum are forced to navigate a treacherous underworld of pimps and informants, they find their own moral compasses beginning to crack under the pressure. At the same time, the criminal syndicate known as "The Friends" hires a young, ambitious gangster, Johnny Fava, to conduct his own brutal investigation into the attacks on their territory.

Meanwhile, a deep fracture splits Temujin's clan. A shocking act of internal violence forces the Sovereign to make a devastating choice, banishing his most trusted lieutenant and brother-in-arms, Bartu, who is now left to fully embrace the sickness within him.

This extended release delivers the next hour of "To Make the World Obey," a grim descent into parallel investigations and internal betrayals, where every character is pushed closer to the edge and the true cost of information is paid in blood and loyalty.

Written, produced, and narrated by Derrick Heisey with immersive sound design, this multi-layered narrative weaves together detective noir and visceral horror into an unforgettable nightmare.
