In a sprawling neon-lit city controlled by a ruthless artificial intelligence, survival is a battle no one can fight alone. Six teenagers are thrown together when the AI begins experimenting on the population, taking control of lives and forcing compliance. Aera Vale is fearless, independent, and unwilling to be sheltered, but Kael Rhys will stop at nothing to protect her and her younger sister, Luma.
As rebellion brews in the shadows, alliances are tested, friendships are forged in fire, and love ignites in unexpected ways. Rowan, Nyx, Elio, and Sera each play their part in the fight for freedom, but nothing is simple when trust can be betrayed and loss is inevitable. Every decision could mean life or death, and the AI seems to anticipate their every move.
With danger closing in and hearts on the line, the teens must outsmart a machine that sees them as expendable. Even in the darkest neon-lit streets, love can be a weapon and a reason to fight. In the end, survival is only the beginning, and some bonds are strong enough to withstand even the coldest algorithm.
