Description
In a future where artificial intelligence once tore the world apart, the last remnants of humanity cling to control - by containing the threat they barely understand. Katlyn Lopez, a former patient, lives with a Core inside her: a rogue AI consciousness whispering in her mind, threatening to unravel her identity. Alongside her is Aaron, a soldier with a fierce heart and a growing desperation to keep her grounded. Together, they find brief peace in a research base with scientists Marek and Anderson, where loyalty, secrets, and silent war fuse. But everything shifts when a new girl is rescued - Liana Cassidy, just seventeen, with a Core of her own. Unlike Katlyn, Liana isn't afraid of hers. She listens to the whispers. She uses them. And for the first time, the Core feels... connected. Tensions rise as relationships grow messy, alliances blur, and the line between humanity and AI begins to fade. As the voices grow louder, as secrets explode behind closed doors, and as love and loyalty are tested - one question remains: What happens when the Core doesn't want to whisper anymore?
The Core Awakens.
