In a city where every breath is logged, every move predicted, and justice is written in code-one man becomes the glitch in the system.When a covert arms deal turns into a massacre, ex-operative Marcus Cole is blamed for the bodies. Official channels say he's a terrorist. Reality says otherwise.Framed by an invisible enemy and hunted by the surveillance empire known as Black Veil, Marcus has one option: go dark. But the system that watches the city doesn't just record what you do-it predicts what you'll do next. And it's modeled off someone very specific: Him.Teaming up with Nadia, a brilliant hacker with scars of her own, Marcus uncovers a terrifying truth: Black Veil isn't just surveillance-it's synthetic judgment. Its predictive AI decides guilt before a crime is committed. It writes the narrative, edits the evidence, and erases whoever doesn't comply.Now fugitives in their own identities, Marcus and Nadia must dismantle a machine that sees all, knows all, and isn't afraid to act first. From rain-slicked back alleys to off-grid bunkers, clone labs to encrypted warzones, they'll fight a system built to outthink them.But the deeper they go, the more dangerous the truth becomes-because the system was trained using Marcus's own mind. And the final weapon being built... looks just like him.
