He built the perfect city. Now, he has to tear it down.
In the hyper-capitalist metropolis of Veridia, efficiency is god, and the Aura Spire is its temple. Klaus Vane was the golden boy-the genius Architect who designed the skyline. He had the perfect life, the perfect job, and a brother-in-arms, Elias Thorne.
Until the fire.
Framed for a catastrophic structural failure that killed thousands-including his pregnant wife-Klaus was stripped of his name, his face, and his humanity. Cast down into the toxic slums of the Fringe, he was left to rot among the refuse of the world he helped build.
But they didn't account for one thing: You cannot break a man who understands how things are put together.
Two years later, Klaus Vane is no longer the Architect. He is a ghost in the machine. A scarred, cybernetically jury-rigged force of vengeance living in the walls of the Undercity.
When he discovers that Elias Thorne isn't just a corporate tyrant, but a madman planning to bury the poor to stabilize the rich, Klaus launches a desperate, impossible war.
Armed with a stolen face, a crew of mechanics and rebels, and a mind that sees the fracture line in every structure, Klaus must ascend the Spire one last time.
He isn't going up to reclaim his life. He's going up to pull the pin on the future.
The Count of Monte Cristo meets Cyberpunk 2077 in this brutal, high-octane sci-fi thriller about revenge, redemption, and the cost of building a better world.
