“A burnt-out enforcer. One disobeyed order. A city that doesn't forgive.”
A burnt-out, heavily cybernetic syndicate enforcer named Vane is just days away from leaving his bloody life behind. But when he disobeys a direct order to execute a 15-year-old boy named Mako, he triggers a relentless, city-wide manhunt, forcing him to use his lethal skills to escort the boy out of a neon-soaked purgatory.

The Matriarch

The City
Rain-slicked neon sprawl where every alley belongs to someone

The Interior
The last place Mako called safe — before the order came through

The Rifle
Vane's weapon — the one tool he has left
Location
The City — a rain-slicked neon sprawl where the Syndicate controls every shadow
The Order
One refusal in eleven years — and the city will never forgive it
The Syndicate
The machine Mako helped build — now hunting her with everything she taught it
Tone
Cold. Wet. Precise. The most dangerous thing in the city is a conscience.
