Now he's caught in a war he didn't start, helping a rogue intelligence named Ayka retrieve the one thing that could free her from the black-market vault where she was buried: her body. The deeper Von goes, the more he questions what's real-his memories, his choices, even his humanity. In a world where minds can be hacked, bodies can be sold, and trust is a glitch in the code- what's left of you when you stop being you?
