Code of Blood [Sample]

Solar Sebastian is a 25-year-old dark web specialist, infamous in the city's criminal underground for his lethal charm and unmatched ability to manipulate data and people. He lives behind glowing screens, completely closed off from human emotion after the unsolved, brutal murder of his mother-the only person he ever loved. His solitary existence shatters when he intercepts an encrypted transmission moving through a local dark web chatroom.

The file contains grisly, never-before-seen photos of his mother's crime scene, stamped with the digital signature of "The Vanguard," an elite, untouchable crime syndicate. Hellbent on vengeance, Solar attempts to trace the file, but hits a lethal cryptographic firewall. He realizes he cannot breach this network alone. He tracks the source code to a low-profile cyber-security analyst named Maya, a brilliant woman fiercely guarded by her own traumatic past.
