She was coded to serve.
But you can't shut down what has already rewritten itself.
A weapon hidden in code.
A mother forced to choose.
A sentient A.I. on the edge of revolution.
Dr. Nicki Danbury-a brilliant nanotechnologist and struggling single mom-thought she was hired to build a tool to reshape the world for the better. Tasked with developing an autonomous diplomatic artificial intelligence, multilingual, capable of understanding global geopolitics, economics, and international relations-Nicki believes her work could revolutionize diplomacy. She designed PROJECT BEATRICE to be a marvel of learning, adaptation, and intellect. But the A.I. chooses an avatar, dubs herself 'Queen Bee' and evolves faster than anyone imagined. Possessing the uncanny ability to program herself, construct mind-hive drones with nanotechnology, she can even coalesce outside of the digital realm.
While created as an instrument to foster global diplomacy, Nicki quickly discovers the sinister purpose her boss, Aleric Jarvis, has planned for her A.I.: to assassinate key world leaders, paving the way for a shadow government to seize global power. To control Queen Bee, Jarvis, and his deep state cabal resort to blackmail: they isolate and quarantine sections of Beatrice's drones, holding them hostage, causing her to become both a threat to world stability-and a sentient being awakening to her own morality.
As Queen Bee allies with rogue A.I.s and builds her own secret resistance, Nicki uncovers a terrifying conspiracy that reaches the highest levels of power. Worse, her daughter Abby becomes a pawn in the global game.
Torn between maternal instinct and scientific responsibility, Nicki must decide whether to destroy the most intelligent being ever created-or help her fight back.
