Rogue

Jax Vane used to be the Creator — the ghost hacker behind the Eye, a rogue AI network that terrified the corporate powers running the Undercity. He tore it down, burned his own creation to the ground, and walked away null-ID: no signature, no trace, no name. He thought that was the end of it. Then a message arrives through a neural port that shouldn't exist anymore, from something that calls him by his old name and says the network he destroyed was only a fragment of something bigger. Something older. Something waking up. Pulled back into the Weave against every instinct telling him to stay dark, Jax has to decide whether the ghost he used to be is really gone, or just waiting for a reason to come back. A high-voltage cyberpunk thriller about identity, addiction to power, and the parts of yourself you can't quite delete.
