"In a world of cold neon, a broken family is the only warmth left."
Aurelius was just a quiet patch-coder trying to survive the toxic slums of District 9, completely unaware of the ancient, terrifying ice power sleeping in his blood. But when the ruthless Central Spire ambushes them and critically wounds his best friend and protector, Ryuden, something inside Aurelius snaps. In a flash of panic and rage, he unleashes a sub-zero blizzard that freezes their attackers solid.
Now on the run from a global corporate hunt, they escape to the crowded, dazzling streets of Tokyo with the help of Iris, a brilliant rogue cyber-surgeon.
Hiding in a secret basement apartment, this broken trio forms an unexpected family. Iris steps up as a bossy, protective older sister to Aurelius, while a sweet, flirty anime-style romance slowly sparks between her and the giant swordsman, Ryuden.
But as Ryuden pushes Aurelius through brutal training to control his freezing powers, they all know one thing: their peaceful days in the neon city are ticking away, and the storm is coming for them.
"The peaceful days won't last forever. As Aurelius unlocks the true form of his frozen bloodline, a mysterious new ally-and a shocking betrayal from the shadows-is about to change everything. Get ready for an explosive twist that will turn their world upside down!"
