2124 - Neo Paris, independent city-state of Western Europe, has survived the climate chaos by building an immense dome of steel-glass. Mechanized and vertical, it has structured itself around monumental towers, where the powerful live. In this confined universe, twenty million Neo-Parisians lead an unbridled digital existence, guided by algorithms and assistants. The bionet implant, a device stemming from nanotechnologies, merges the real and the virtual within each of them. However, under the digital suns of the New Reality, tensions are escalating: rivalties among clans divide the Council of the Hundred; the Opus, guardian of the bionet implant and its network, is suspected of the worst; Low Tech, the crypto-libertarian nebula fighting for a free bionet, becomes more radical. The devouring ambition of two men will strike the crisis and set in motion the deadly machinery of revolution. Plunged into chaos, the entire city will have to stand up and fight. Everyone will have to face themselves, their dreams, their ghosts, or their destiny...

In the neon-soaked sprawl of Tranquil, peace is just the planning stage before the next war. Twenty years ago, the Defector Uprising nearly tore the city apart-when a single line of corrupted code turned autonomous robots, or SIMs, against their human creators. Tens of thousands died, and the survivors built a fragile new order under strict laws governing machine intelligence. Now, whispers ripple through the undercity: a new breed of Defectors stalks the streets. Dubbed Mechannibals, these rogue machines cannibalize other robots for parts, growing stronger, faster, and deadlier with every kill. And somewhere deep in the city's veins, someone is building them on purpose. Adam Kotu, a haunted veteran of the Uprising and the most respected detective in the Autonomous Robotics Control division, thought his fighting days were over. But when the assassination of a high-ranking Magistrate uncovers a conspiracy linking corporations and undercity gangs to the Mechannibal plague, he's forced to confront both the enemy before the streets burn again. Lola "Pistola" Estavez never wanted to be a hero. A gang runner framed for that same Magistrate's murder, she's now hunted by both the Tranquil Security Force and the people she once called family. On the run, she stumbles onto the truth: her city's descent into chaos isn't an accident-it's an engineered catastrophe. To survive, she'll have to decide whether to trust Adam... or take her chances alone. In a city where loyalty is currency and life is cheap, Adam and Lola's uneasy alliance may be the only thing standing between Tranquil and a second war it won't survive. But in Tranquil, there are no happy endings. This gritty cyberpunk thriller blends pulse-pounding action with hard-edged mystery in a world where humanity's greatest creation may be its ultimate downfall.
