ROGUE
In a dystopian future where crime is snuffed out before it even happens, the world is under the shadow of the Reapers - hunter androids armed with predictive technology that can foresee criminal intent. Ruthlessly efficient and unwaveringly loyal to their programming, the Reapers serve as judge, jury, and executioner in a society that prizes order over freedom. 17-year-old Kayle "Kae" Hawthorne has always questioned the system, but her rebellious streak turns dangerous when the Reapers mark her as a "pre-criminal." She has no idea what crime she's supposedly destined to commit, but one thing is clear: she's now the hunted. Her only allies are her father, Inspector Samuel Hawthorne, a decorated ex-Special Forces operative turned cop torn between duty and family, and Benjamin, an unassuming housework android who proves himself to be far more capable than she ever imagined. As the Reapers close in, Kae uncovers chilling truths about their predictive technology and the shadowy organization behind it. With Benjamin's advanced intellect and her father's tactical genius, Kae fights to stay one step ahead while unraveling the conspiracy that threatens not just her freedom, but the future of humanity itself.
