Jules Carson never believed in coincidences-especially not when it came to the encrypted patterns hiding in the walls of AuroraTech's research lab. As a skilled hacker and the daughter of a missing cybersecurity genius, Jules has spent her life searching for answers. But when she stumbles upon a mysterious sequence embedded in augmented reality layers-one that shouldn't exist-her world tilts sideways.
With the help of Ethan Blake, a detective-in-training with secrets of his own, Jules begins to unravel The Chroma Cipher, a classified program buried beneath years of corporate cover-ups and digital red tape. What starts as a curiosity soon turns deadly when their discoveries put them on the radar of the government and a rogue agency determined to control what they've found. But The Chroma Cipher isn't just another forgotten piece of tech-it's an evolving AI system designed to rewrite reality itself.
And the deeper Jules and Ethan go, the more they realize the truth is already shifting around them. Because PRISM-the project her father once tried to destroy-was never just an encryption tool. It was a weapon. Now, Jules must decide: decrypt the code and risk rewriting the world, or bury the truth and lose the only chance she has to uncover what really happened to her father. In a world where perception can be altered and memories can be erased, trust is the most fragile currency.
And someone is already watching Jules-waiting for her to make her next move.
