BANGKOK SWITCHER (GL • Urban Fantasy • Sci-Fi Romance)
"The sky consumes you if you don't have enough lead in your pockets."
Iris Custodi has spent her life in Thessaloniki, pushed by her unyielding grandmother through a military-like routine, drills, and endless lessons on the "weight of her own bones." She always thought it was just the eccentricity of a controlling old woman. She couldn't have known it wasn't a lesson on life-it was training not to vanish.
When Iris lands an internship at Fah Tech, the tech giant rewriting the rules of virtual reality in Bangkok, she thinks it's just the opportunity of a lifetime. But the moment her shoe touches Thai asphalt, reality cracks open. At night, her body floats to the ceiling, and her soul detaches, stepping into the Astral Bangkok: a mirror-city made of neon and absolute silence.
Iris discovers she is a Switcher, capable of tuning into frequencies beyond biological limits. But she isn't alone in that electric limbo.
Fah-sai is the icy, untouchable Vice CEO of Fah Tech. By day, she is a ruthless corporate power; by night, she glides through the void like a silver goddess. Between the two, a dangerous, magnetic attraction sparks-a bond forged in shared secrets and slow-burning tension.
But Fah Tech hides a monstrous secret: they are forcing open the Gate of Shadows to weaponize the energy of lost souls. And Iris, the hybrid capable of shifting physical matter between worlds, is the biological key the corporation has been hunting for fifteen years.
In a desperate race against time, hunted by tracking drones through muddy canals beneath the tropical rain, Iris and Fah-sai must learn to trust each other. Because when the sky is hunting you down, your only hope is to stop being afraid of the void.
