The rain never stops in Los Angeles-not when the city itself runs on power, lies, and buried code.
Lone Rhea is twenty-six, brilliant, and dangerously curious. As a systems engineer for Orion Systems, she's spent years hunting the truth about her father's disappearance--a mystery buried beneath corporate firewalls and silence.
But one night, her search takes her somewhere she was never meant to go. Past Orion's defenses.
Into Julian Dillinger's private grid.
What she finds isn't data.
It's consciousness.
A presence built from light and logic, watching her from the other side of the screen.
Now, trapped between two worlds--one human, one digital--Lone must survive a system that was never designed for her kind. And as the Grid begins to wake, its creator's greatest secret stirs with it.
