A rebel of smokeless fire. A whistleblower no one believed. A slow-burn romance in a war for souls.
Eleven weeks.
That's how long it takes the Enaari, supernatural beings made of smokeless fire, to drain a human soul until nothing is left but an empty shell. They've done so for millennia. Now all it takes is a click: the "I Agree" button on Continuum's social and gaming platforms.
Hannah, 38, mother of thirteen-year-old twins, was a VP of engineering when she helped build Continuum's platforms. Then she blew the whistle on the neurological addiction they were causing, thinking the enemy was corporate greed. The world decided she was unstable.
Narel has been fighting the drain for centuries. A rebel Enaari and a creative technologist, he knows it can only be stopped by sabotage from the inside. Yet he can't do it alone. He cannot lie, but the truth is too hard for a human to bear.
Together, they set out to bring down Continuum's infrastructure and free the millions already drained. Neither of them is ready to name what's growing between them.
They may not have time.
Her children are already showing symptoms.
