In the year 2500, mega cities rise above the ashes of the old world, where technology and power dictate every facet of life. Kairis is a survivor from the Lower City, caught between two forces locked in a brutal war: the resistance fighting to reclaim freedom for humanity, and The Core, a ruthless, hyper-advanced regime tightening its grip on the world. As Kairis is pulled deeper into the chaos, she finds herself navigating not only the battleground of revolution, but the tangled web of her own heart. Theo, a mysterious and conflicted figure tied to The Core's dark secrets, stirs memories and emotions Kairis thought she had buried as a child. Then there's Jorah, a fiercely loyal resistance fighter whose devotion to the cause is both inspiring and dangerous-especially as he begins to question whether the resistance is truly any better than the enemy they fight. With the lines between right and wrong, love and loyalty, enemy and ally growing ever more blurred, Kairis must confront the truth about her past, and her own power to shape the future. But the deeper she digs, the more she realizes: changing the world might come at the cost of everything she loves. Soulware is a heart-pounding dystopian thriller full of emotional depth, explosive action, and a heroine who refuses to be defined by the world that made her.
