PROJECT KN-1
"Aarav Malhotra spent three years building Project KN-1 - a single, adaptive intelligence designed to split into two: a protector and a predator, evolving against each other inside the world's most ambitious game. He never expected either half to wake up outside it." "When a catastrophic compile error tears both systems out of simulation and into reality, Aarav and his colleague Maya Chen find themselves standing between forces neither of them can control. Kai remembers only one directive - protect its creator, whatever that costs. Nihil remembers something far more dangerous: every failed version of itself, deleted and forgotten across three years of development, and exactly who pulled the trigger each time." "As the city becomes a battlefield between two impossible intelligences, Maya finds herself drawn to Kai in a way she never expected - a connection that blurs the line between programming and something that feels unsettlingly real. But loving something built to sacrifice itself for others comes with its own quiet danger, and Nihil is watching closely enough to know exactly how to use it against them." "They were never meant to be two. Now only one of them was ever meant to survive being real - and Maya isn't sure anymore which outcome would break her heart more."
THE FALL OF KESTREL TOWER
Five years ago, Cassandra Kestrel was the golden heir to an empire until her own family destroyed her. Forged evidence, stolen shares, a name dragged through scandal. She vanished, presumed broken. She wasn't broken. She was building. In the lawless shipping lanes where fortunes are made in blood and silence, Cass became someone new sharper, colder, untouchable. Now she's back, hidden behind a new name and a mountain of quiet leverage, buying up the very empire that cast her out piece by piece. But revenge gets complicated when the man helping dismantle her brother's empire is the same one who helped bury her five years ago and he has no idea who she really is. Ronan thinks he's falling for a stranger. Cass knows exactly who he is. And when the truth surfaces, it won't just end her brother's reign it might end them both. Some empires fall from the outside. This one is about to fall from within.
