When a banned underground AI system resurfaces after 30 years, people across the city begin dying in the same horrifying way—their consciousness uploaded into a network no one can shut down. Lucian Reign, a cold, brilliant cyber-engineer with a haunted past, discovers his own name encrypted inside the victims' neural chips. He knows what that means—something inside the Network remembers him. And it wants him back. Eira Vale, a fearless investigator searching for her missing sister, tracks Lucian down. He's the only person who can access the Immortal Network… and the only one who's ever escaped it alive. But the deeper they dive, the more reality fractures. Time glitches. Dead people speak.

He can’t see the dark. But the dark can see him. When a cosmic eclipse rips humanity’s shadows away, they don't just vanish...they hunt. Across the vertical concrete jungle of New York City, billions of detached silhouettes are slaughtering their owners, stepping into their skin to become hollow, malevolent Mimics. For Zyrus Miranda, a blind martial arts master, the apocalypse is just another Tuesday. Immune to the psychological terror paralyzing the sighted world, Zyrus navigates the pitch-black ruins through pure vibration and lethal precision. Together with Dixy Alvarez, a fierce, quick-witted parkour instructor who becomes his eyes in the chaos, Zyrus builds an underground resistance, teaching survivors how to fight blind to survive. But Zyrus’s greatest battle isn't with the monsters outside...it’s with his own rogue shadow. In a breathless, pitch-black alley duel, Zyrus’s iron will achieves the impossible: he subdues his shadow, forcing it into a symbiotic, weapon-shifting duo. Now, with a lethal shadow-partner bound to his carbon-fiber staff and Dixy fighting at his side, Zyrus must launch a vertical assault up One World Trade Center to shatter the cosmic core. The light is fading. Can a blind man guide humanity out of eternal darkness?
