As darkness closes in on the city of shattered light, an heiress and an outlaw must decide whether to fend for themselves or fight for each other.
As heiress to a powerful tech empire, seventeen-year-old Asa Almeida strives to prove she's more than her manipulative father's shadow. But when he uploads her rebellious sisterâs mind to an experimental brain, Asa will do anything to save her sister from reprogrammingâincluding fleeing her predetermined future with her sisterâs digitized mind in tow. With a bounty on her head and a rogue A.I. hunting her, Asaâs getaway ship crash-lands in the worst possible place: the neon-drenched outlaw paradise, Requiem.
Gun-slinging smuggler Riven Hawthorne is determined to claw her way up Requiemâs underworld hierarchy. A runaway rich girl is exactly the bounty Riven needsâuntil a nasty computer virus spreads in Asaâs wake, causing a citywide blackout and tech quarantine. To get the payout for Asa and save Requiem from the monster in its circuits, Riven must team up with her captive.Riven breaks skulls the way Asa breaks circuits, but their opponent is unlike anything theyâve ever seen. The A.I. exploits the girlsâ darkest memories and deepest secrets, threatening to shatter the fragile alliance theyâre both depending on. As one of Requiemâs 154-hour nights grows darker, the girls must decide whether to fend for themselves or fight for each other before Rivenâs city and Asaâs sister are snuffed out forever.
