"What came first: the alien invasion, the environmental collapse, the machine rebellion, or the damn tear in the space-time continuum that periodically spits abominations from the abyss? I couldn’t tell you. But those are just things we deal with daily. What really matters is surviving another day."—Kailen Neuvak Kailen Neuvak lives in the last city of humanity, a sprawling metropolis so vast it could take months to travel from one end to the other. In this urban labyrinth, survival is both an art and a gamble. Alien monstrosities, rogue machines, and interdimensional horrors roam freely beyond its walls, while within, a brutal economy grinds its inhabitants to dust. Cast aside by his own family but armed with a rare, life-saving implant, Kaylen makes his way as a freelancer, taking on dangerous jobs in exchange for a shot at staying alive. When a high-stakes mission offers a fortune too great to ignore, Kaylen is thrust into a spiraling conflict of lies, power, and desperation. As he fights to stay ahead in a system where wealth is survival and trust is as rare as clean air, Kaylen faces his toughest question yet: how far will he go to live another day? This is a world where guns are cheaper and more accessible than health insurance (for my American readers), bureaucracy is as endless as a Monday morning meeting (for my European readers), and poverty feels like a national pastime (for the rest of the world).
