In a world where artificial intelligence has reshaped every aspect of human existence, Ellie Vale has everything-privilege, intelligence, and a path set before her. But beneath the sleek perfection of Neuron City, she feels hollow, restless, like a cog in a machine she never chose. When a buried secret from her family's past resurfaces, Ellie finds herself questioning everything she thought she knew.
Her father, Adrian Vale, is one of the most powerful men in the world, a visionary responsible for pushing AI-human integration beyond imagination. But Ellie begins to suspect that the future he's building comes at a terrible cost-one tied to Project Oracle, a classified experiment lost to history... and to someone Ellie thought she had lost forever.
With the help of an underground network of rogue hackers, Ellie sets out to uncover the truth, only to find herself entangled in a battle far bigger than herself. A voice from the past, trapped in the depths of the digital void, calls out to her. The deeper she digs, the more dangerous her search becomes-because someone, or something, is watching.
As Ellie races against time, she'll have to decide what defines her: the technology that could turn her into something more than human, or the choices that will prove she already is.
The truth is hidden in the code. And the world isn't ready for what she's about to find.
