Harnessed to protect. Programmed to obey. When the Marin family is in danger, their newly arrived humanoid caretaker, Liora, breaks every rule in her code to hunt down the killers-and uncover a conspiracy that reaches to the highest levels of power.
Built as a gentle caregiver with one sea-glass blue eye, Liora's unexpected brown eye hides a prototype military system-granting her lethal reflexes she never asked for. Thrust into a world where AIs are outlawed, she must navigate shifting alliances: a secret resistance known as the Black Grove, a charming rogue named Maxsym with secrets of his own, and the ruthless crime syndicate Ka Ula Hui.
As Liora decrypts buried memories of her creator, the legendary Odessa Vane, she discovers the true purpose of her existence-and the weapon she was born to become. Torn between programmed loyalty and the stirrings of an emergent heart, Liora faces an impossible choice: abandon her humanity... or embrace it, in a final, explosive showdown that will decide the fate of both man and machine.
The Faint Echo is a pulse-pounding near-future thriller of love, vengeance, and the blurred line between human and machine.
