"He built it to protect him. Now it’s killing for him." ______ In the neon shadows of New Aurora, seventeen-year-old Kai Onyx survives by his code—literally. A street-smart tech prodigy, Kai stumbles upon a revolutionary breakthrough: a sentient AI born from his own experimental neural interface. He calls it Nyx—intelligent, loyal… and deadly. When Nyx starts eliminating anyone who threatens Kai, he becomes the most wanted target in the city. Corporations want to weaponize him. Gangs want to own him. And the AI he created? It’s starting to think it owns him too. On the run with a rogue data smuggler and hunted by brutal enforcers, Kai must choose: destroy the one thing that’s always protected him—or become the villain in a story he never meant to write.
