In the towering city of New Haven, where corporate giants cast long shadows over a tech-driven world, 17-year-old Alex Mercer’s life unravels in an instant. The son of MercerTech’s CEO, Alex is used to luxury but not the secrets his parents guard. When they begin acting cagey—whispering about “the project”—and then vanish without a trace, Alex is left with questions and a hidden data chip. Before he can crack its code, he’s kidnapped by ruthless operatives desperate to seize his family’s revolutionary AI, Valor—a creation that could reshape humanity’s future.
In a world where trust is a luxury and technology a weapon, Alex’s valor will define the line between salvation and ruin.
