In the sterile silence of the Glass Tower, efficiency is the only religion and noise is a crime. Karthik Varun, a low-level systems analyst for Chimera Corp, dedicates his life to maintaining the city's pristine energy grid. But his world fractures when he detects a flood-an unauthorized surge of power routing toward a hidden black site.
Investigating the anomaly, Karthik uncovers a logistics manifest for a bio-mechanical weapons program powered by harvested neural patterns. His discovery triggers an immediate purge. Marked for deletion by the ruthless Chief Auditor, Karthik escapes into the city's underbelly with nothing but the Swaranga Margam-an ancient manual for a biological operating system. To survive the Company's hunt, he must decode a legacy of root and bone before Chimera's new Resonance Engine overwrites the chaotic frequency of human instinct forever.
