Overview

A Pattern in the Stars. A Crack in the Empire.Olivia is a mathematical prodigy in a world built on sacred tradition. When she is selected as an apprentice for the imperial observatory, she expects to serve the gods and the emperor through calculation. Instead, she discovers a secret: the sacred calendar is drifting. By measuring the movement of light and the shift of shadows, Olivia finds an error of exactly seventeen seconds per year. It seems small, but over two centuries, the empire has fallen nearly an hour behind the sun. Now, Olivia must navigate a dangerous political landscape where truth is a threat to institutional power. The Sun's Accountant is a gripping tale of scientific discovery and strategic navigation. As Olivia uncovers evidence that the sun itself is moving through space, she must choose between the purity of mathematics and the survival of the very infrastructure that allows her to look at the stars. In this masterful blend of educational historical fiction and philosophical drama, author Abhay Singh explores the tension between ""perfect"" truth and ""better"" utility. Perfect for readers of The Alchemist and The Giver, this story is a meditation on the social responsibility of knowledge and the patient weaving of collective understanding.
