For Leo Valdez, a troubled teen with a genius for code, every problem has a logical solution.
So when his mother is being deceived by a charismatic liar, Leo does what he does best: he builds a tool. He calls it Veritas. An AI that doesn't just guess-it calculates the exact, mathematical probability that someone is lying.
It works perfectly.
Flush with power, Leo anonymously unleashes Veritas on the world, exposing the hidden lies of the powerful. He becomes a digital folk hero. A ghost in the machine, holding up a mirror to a corrupt society.
But he's not the only one watching.
Now, a formidable and ruthless private intelligence corporation knows his secret. They don't want to arrest him. They want to recruit him. And they have a master manipulator who understands Leo's deepest need: to be seen as the genius he is.
As a deadly game of cat and mouse begins, Leo's only refuge is a forgotten city library and its mysterious keeper, who believes some truths are too dangerous to ever be found. To survive, Leo must learn the difference between uncovering a lie and understanding a truth-before his own creation becomes the instrument of his destruction.
