They created her to be perfect.
He made her dangerous.
Now, love might be the glitch that destroys them both.
Seraphine Vale was born in the shadows of Neo-Erebus, a city built on secrets and sustained by blood. Orphaned, raised by code and chaos, she's become the most wanted hacker in the Underslums. When a data heist goes wrong, she finds herself face-to-face with the man she's hated from afar, Auren Blackmoor, the ruthless, icy billionaire who owns the city's soul.
But instead of handing her over to the labs for dissection, Auren offers her a deal:
Work for him in his heavily guarded arcology tower, where secrets pulse beneath polished chrome floors and something monstrous lurks in the dark. Refuse... and be erased.
With no choice but to accept, Seraphine enters a world of chilling technology, forbidden experiments, and seduction laced with suspicion. But as her memories begin to fracture, she starts to realize the truth:
She wasn't just a victim of Erebus Industries.
She was its prototype.
And Auren Blackmoor?
He's not just the billionaire who built the nightmare.
He's the man who gave her life, and the one who can take it away.
Their attraction is dangerous. Their bond? A glitch in the system.
Because falling in love with your creator was never part of the code...
And when the city's most terrifying secret is unleashed, Seraphine may have to destroy the only man she's ever felt anything for-to save a world that never wanted her. The Shattered Cipher
Bnjoda082 Lena Voss, a disgraced CIA cryptographer, is thrust into a deadly game when her outlawed Cipher implant-a glitchy AI wired into her brain-decrypts a chilling Syndicate message: "The Cipher wakes. 72 hours until reset." The warning signals a plot to erase global financial systems, and Lena's altered memories hold the key to stopping it. Haunted by guilt over abandoning her sister Clara to the same CIA experiments that birthed the Cipher, Lena must race from Hong Kong to Cairo to unlock a hidden vault before the Syndicate's AI rewrites the world. Her only guide is Jace, a rogue operative whose Syndicate brand marks him as foe or friend. As Lena dodges assassins and decodes the Cipher's cryptic visions, she uncovers a shattering truth: she and Clara were engineered as living keys, their minds and blood bound to the vault's secrets. Each twist-Jace's hidden agenda, Clara's apparent betrayal-threatens to break Lena's fragile trust. With the Cipher hijacking her thoughts, Lena faces a wrenching choice: sacrifice her identity to destroy the Syndicate's AI or risk Clara's life to save her own soul. In a neon-lit underworld where every ally could be a traitor, Lena's battle to reclaim her past and protect her sister could save billions-or doom them all to a reset world.
