Publisher's Synopsis
Robbie McElroy isn't afraid of death.
For as long as he can remember, he's been untouchable, surviving across countless worlds with nothing but his wits and his ancient AI companion, Zaphkiel. But when Zaphkiel goes missing, young Robbie becomes stranded in the brutal megacity of Na-Za, alone, vulnerable, and hunted. To reclaim what was taken, he must outmaneuver enforcers, gang members, and cybernetic warlords, navigating the neon-drenched underbelly of a city that devours the weak. But as he fights to take back his past, he begins to question if holding onto it is what's truly keeping him alive. Because for the first time in his existence, Robbie has found something worth living for. And if he wants to protect it, he may have to let go of the one thing that's kept him safe all this time. A gritty sci-fi thriller blending cyberpunk noir with existential themes, this is a story of survival, friendship, and the terrifying freedom of choosing your own future.
