Aegis is a cyber-noir thriller set in a world where a portion of humans developed powers after a week long darkness: when the whole world was shrouded in a mysterious grey fog with no origin or end. Aegis is a government organisation in charge of training Varients to become Anomaly hunters who maintain the peace and order by eliminating anomalies before they cause destruction or casualties. With no past memories, Veronica finds herself recruited in Aegis X7 whose Chairman is Alric S. Morrow, and strange doctor claiming she is going to develop powers soon in near future. But the seemingly functional system is just a cover, with danger lurking in every corner. People here have unwritten rules refraining them from mentioning 'Vesper' a not so hidden opposing faction of government. They call themselves Vesper, government ruling them out as a criminal organisation, but there seems to be more to it. With the Government and the Vesper being in an unwritten power struggle, along with the expanding influence of the leader of Vesper, who is to be trusted? As days go by, Veronica starts questioning whether Aegis is just a simple government organisation or a part of something bigger and twisted. Navigating her path through Aegis while trying to uncover her past, Veronica finds herself going down the rabbit hole; or maybe, she has been deep down the rabbit hole from the very beginning. The starting chapters might seem a bit slow as to establish the necessary world building, but rest assured; things go downhill and plot thickens real soon.

Vesper has lived her life in the shadows, hiding a secret that could condemn her to chains- or worse. Born with forbidden telekinetic power, she knows what happens to those with gifts like hers: they vanish into the King's grasp, dragged from their homes and never seen again. Some say they're executed. Others whisper of hidden prisons beneath the palace. Vesper intends to find out. Disguised as a servant, she slips into the heart of the royal court, determined to uncover where the missing are taken and how she can help them. But the palace is a labyrinth of rivalries, lies, and hungry eyes, each more dangerous than the last. Prince Euris, the scholar with a kind smile and quiet defiance, draws her closer with a gentleness she hasn't known in years. With him, she begins to feel like more than just a survivor. But Euris is fighting battles of his own-and trusting him could tangle her heart in a war she can't afford to lose. And then there is Caen, the King's shadow and rumored telepath. His gaze strips her bare, his presence a weight pressing on her mind. Every encounter is a duel: his relentless probing against her fragile shields. Terrifying, magnetic, he knows she has secrets-and he won't stop until he unravels them. As war brews beyond the palace walls and loyalties fracture within them, Vesper finds herself caught between two powerful men, between desire and deception, between survival and sacrifice. But one truth grows sharper with every passing day: if she isn't careful, the palace will consume her, body and soul. And if Caen learns what she truly is, there will be no hiding at all.
