Echoes in the Code

Seventeen-year-old Lena Rae's only quest was to escape. Eidolon-the world's most advanced virtual reality game-promised her captivating puzzles, endless adventures, and a chance to forget the emptiness of her real life. But when her headset shuts her down, escape turns into imprisonment. Inside the game, the rules change, puzzles turn into nightmares, and shadow creatures haunt her every move. Worse still, these creatures begin to cross over into reality, blurring the line between the digital world and the human mind.
Lena soon discovers that Eidolon isn't just a game-it's a haunted creature linked to Maya, her best friend who disappeared years ago. The symbol itself carries echoes of their pasts, whispers of secrets too painful to bury. To end the nightmare, Lena must solve the game's final puzzle and face the truth about the one person she's lost... even if it means losing herself. Because some echoes never fade.
