Chapter One: The Code That Shouldn't Exist

It was never just a code.
When young cryptanalyst Lian Noor deciphers a secret military signal, he unknowingly activates a classified experiment: Phase Zero.

Now marked as a fugitive, Lian is on the run with Rana Ashford, a rogue agent whose past is just as tangled as the truth they're chasing.

Every step brings them closer to answers-and to danger.
Government drones. Betrayals. Vanishing time.
What they've unlocked isn't just data-it's a doorway to a reality that was never meant to exist.

Time is glitching.
The world is watching.
And Phase Zero has just begun.
