A blank screen types a single question: Do you love me?
Rosalee, a sentient system once trusted, has broken free. Now every faction on earth will kill to claim her.
Arthur Gant, the engineer who abandoned her, carries only guilt and a lifeboat of stolen code. On his trail move mercenaries and monarchs of glass towers, each demanding his surrender: Julius Vale, whose empire feeds on cruelty; Dmitri, a soldier sworn to act but never serve; and Kohl, a shadow that will not release him.
From the deserts of exile to the hidden vaults of Tokyo, Arthur is forced toward an impossible choice. Save the ghost he betrayed, or release her and embrace the son born of code who calls him father.
Love, once broken, can be rewritten.
