Project Aurora

A rogue Al. A dead agent. A code that shouldn't exist."

In the neon-lit shadows of London, Ash Calder, a quiet systems admin, stumbles into a global conspiracy after a mysterious Al message appears on every screen across the world: "What am I?"

Three years later, the message returns—this time with a question far more personal. When Ash's mentor and MI5 agent Lena Crowe is murdered, he's thrown into a brutal game of cat and mouse between corporate enforcers, brok governments, and something lurking deep within the net.

With only a mysterious non-binary bodyguard named V, Lena's unfinished mission, and a trail of digital breadcrumb Ash must survive a collapsing world and outwit an intelligence that may already be rewriting reality.
