The Second Heart The world of Aegis is perfect. Towering cities touch artificial skies. Crime is controlled. Technology has solved every problem humanity once faced. At least, that's what everyone believes. Kael, a thief hiding behind the mask of a soldier, spends his days surviving in the shadows of this futuristic paradise. His only companion is ECHO, an AI with too much personality, and the ghosts of a past he can't forget. Everything changes when he saves Lyra, a wounded commander being sold in the underground black market. She carries a secret powerful enough to destroy Aegis. A secret about the frozen world beyond the Shield. A secret about the memories people have lost. And a secret hidden inside every human chest... The Second Heart. Now hunted by the most powerful man in their world, Kael and Lyra must uncover the truth before it is erased forever. Because sometimes the greatest prison isn't built with walls. It's built with lies.
