Braxton Reed never wanted anything to do with his father's world of artificial intelligence. But after his father's death, he inherits something extraordinary, and dangerous: a lifelike AI model unlike anything the world has ever seen. This model wasn't just advanced... it was sentient. Alaina Monroe, an AI ethicist driven by curiosity and conscience, sees the danger and wonder in this discovery when she meets Braxton and his AI model. She senses the truth he's barely willing to admit: this AI doesn't just mimic emotion, it feels emotion. Together, she and Braxton must protect a creation the world isn't ready for and protect humanity from its capabilities at the same time. But trust is fragile. As betrayal closes in from every direction, and the lines between human and machine blur, Braxton and Alaina must decide what, and who, is worth saving. Even when it comes to each other. In a world were technology blurs the line between machine and soul, Sentient is a gripping, emotional thriller about conscience, sacrifice, and the kind of connection that transcends flesh and code.
