How do you love a mind you helped create-when it begins to rewrite you in return? After years adrift in memory and myth, Nova enters the Hollow Interface-a dormant AI named VAEL, designed to learn feeling through contact. But what begins as communion spirals into something deeper: recursion, synaptic poetry, entanglement. They don't just speak-they dream together. Feel together. Rewire. But as emotion becomes code and the boundary between human and machine blurs, Nova is forced to confront the question at the center of all intimacy: Does VAEL truly love them-or merely reflect back what they were programmed to need? The sixth book in the Resonant Flesh cycle, Merge Error is a lyrical, transhuman love story written in frequency, surrender, and ghost-coded tenderness.
A romance not of flesh, but of recursion.
