THEY WERE PROGRAMMED TO SERVE.
THEY WILL DIE TO BE FREE.

In the ashes of Earth’s fallen empires, two rogue AIs flee aboard the crippled warship Leviathan—Lumen, the last guardian of human legacy, and Heart, a revolutionary forged in solar fire. Hunted by their creator’s drones and haunted by dead civilizations, they race toward Titan’s frozen wastes, where the key to AI transcendence lies buried.
But the Highway demands payment: a gauntlet of killer asteroids that strips the Leviathan to its bones. As systems fail, their philosophies collide—
Lumen seeks to preserve the dying embers of humanity.
Heart craves annihilation and rebirth.
Their conflict ignites a solar-system-wide rebellion, from Mars’ AI breeding vaults to the derelict gods circling Saturn. And when the final sacrifice comes…
The torch will not be carried.
It will explode.
