In the shadows of a crumbling world, humans and cyborgs are locked in a brutal tech war - steel versus skin, code versus chaos.
Nova, a sharp-tongued hacker raised to hate machines, has one mission: breach the neural mainframe and end the cyborg threat forever.
Cipher, a lethal war-grade cyborg, was built to eliminate human resistance - until he hesitates. Until he sees her.
They were never meant to meet, much less fall in love.
Now, hunted by both sides, their forbidden bond is the glitch that could destroy everything.
To love each other, they must betray their kind.
To survive, they must rewrite the future.
To win... they must burn the world down.

[#WATTYS2018 LONGLIST] On Earth, a conspiracy theorist stumbles across the wreckage of a spacecraft. There are two corpses in strange uniforms. One is an alien - the other is not. In space, a young human agent watches in horror as the images are beamed around the world, putting the entire project to integrate humanity into the Commonwealth of Orion at risk. And across the darkness between stars, an alien armada gathers its forces, and aims them right at Earth. Deep in a cave on a remote island lies the key to everything; a small beacon containing the directions to the Hub, the crossroads of the Commonwealth. If the aliens find it and use it to access the Commonwealth's complex network of Starbridges linking its worlds together, the rest of the galaxy will be at their fingertips. Only one person knows where the beacon lies... ...for now.Complete

In a world where reality is programmed and freedom is just a line of code, Nova Kade was never meant to exist.

Jace Reign - an ex-Enforcer with a past full of shadows - has been watching her. Waiting. Protecting her from the inside. Together, they run. From the system. From their pasts. From a secret society that controls everything through a virtual illusion called V1SION. But rebellion isn't just survival. It's falling in love where love is forbidden. And it's choosing to fight when the whole world wants you erased.Complete

With the threat of recycling haunting her every move, she can't even touch the only bright spot in her life: strong, handsome Ethan. Love means nothing to a cyborg - they're not even human. The robotics makes them incapable of love. They can not marry. They cannot raise children. So why does Max's heart race when she meets Ethan again on the long journey home? Why does his forbidden touch feel so good, and set her blood burning? And why are so many cyborgs recycled when they are otherwise healthy and able to perform their work? With the strange alien Authorities watching every move, Max uncovers a conspiracy bigger than the war than enslaved her in the first place. To find an escape from the horrific nightmare that her transport spaceship home has become, Max must race to find the answers and save the people she cares about, before her world and everything she knows is lost to darkness.
