Overview

When justice is a subscription plan, rebellion is the only truth. In Universe 164, a shattered America reborn as New Pax, freedom is a luxury and crime a commodity. The secretive syndicate known as The Consensus runs everything-from prison ""packages"" for the rich, to VerdictStream, a social media platform where public votes decide who lives or dies. But when a mysterious hack threatens their trillion-dollar empire, two outcasts are forced into an uneasy alliance that could either save the world-or burn it down. Stella Kane, a gifted hacker imprisoned for defying the system that created her, is offered a deal: fix the breach, earn her freedom. But she has no intention of saving her captors. Nick Torres, a battle-scarred ex-soldier with a record and a conscience, is blackmailed into being her protector-and her leash. Together, they dive into a world of neon-lit chaos and digital ghosts, hunted by crime lords, rogue AIs, and their own haunted pasts. As the line between human and machine blurs, Stella and Nick discover that the true virus isn't in the code-it's in the hearts of those who built it. Requiem of Consensus is a pulse-pounding dystopian thriller that fuses the grit of Blade Runner, the sensual tension of Gone Girl, and the philosophical fire of Ghost in the Shell. A story about love, justice, and the courage to defy an empire of lies. When the system owns the truth, the only rebellion left is the human heart.
