This is a story of a cyberpunk revolution. But we do not follow the revolutionary. Cellia Sunway is only 16 years old when her mother commits an unforgivable act. In the futuristic dystopian city of Ebscido, where prosthetics are banned from the upper class regions of the city, the lower class find themselves cut off from the rest, and plunged into a terrible blackout. Without any way to charge themselves, they are cursed to die a slow and lonely death. Guilt troubles Cellia as she calls into question her own morality, family, and existence. Should she hate her own family for the destruction they've caused? Or should she allow herself to care for those she loves despite their crimes? Like all teenagers, she keeps these feelings under lock and key. But it doesn't take long before she's forced to confront everything: including her own right to live. In a post-apocalyptic cyberpunk dystopia, where cybernetics are despised, electricity is vital, and wickedness infests both the rich and the poor, the lives of innocent and guilty on both sides hangs in the balance. And Cellia is the only one who can tip the scales.

The corporate-run city of Mecropolis pulses like a circuit board in the dark, with neon veins pumping power, secrets, and corruption under the ruthless watch of Anodyne Networks. Here, rebellion isn't just resistance. It's survival. Here, four souls entangle in the city's electric undercurrent, each fractured by the machine but wired to fight it: Nameless, ghosting through digital shadows, chases echoes from a past Anodyne buried but never forgot. Mister Whisper wears lies like armor, a woman masked in masculine ambiguity, trading secrets that could rewrite fate with a word. 404, the genius with circuitry in his bones and compassion in his code, sparks hope amidst the crushing gears of corporate oppression. And Reaper, part human, part machine, all fury, and living proof that sometimes you must become the monster to defeat one. In Neon Black, lines blur between flesh and steel, identity and illusion, freedom and obedience. The city is watching.
