Nostradamus never misses. But this time, the math is personal.
Mira Foster built the ultimate safety net. Haunted by the "missed signals" that led to her mother's sudden death, the brilliant data scientist created Sentinel Analytics and its crown jewel: Nostradamus. The algorithm doesn't just process data; it predicts human tragedy with terrifying accuracy. For years, Mira has traded privacy for protection, convinced that a 90% confidence score is the only way to keep the world safe.
Until the system flags her daughter.
When the code predicts that 16-year-old Zoe will be dead within 72 hours, Mira's reality shatters. The guardian she created has turned into an executioner. The algorithm points to Zoe's erratic behavior and empathy for high-risk strangers as a terminal pattern-a "glitch" that Nostradamus claims can only end in death.
As the clock strikes zero, Mira is trapped in a digital cage.
To save Zoe, Mira must go rogue against the very company she helped build. But as she races to find the flaw in her own logic, she discovers that Sentinel's boardrooms hold secrets more dangerous than the code itself. Every move she makes to protect her daughter is tracked, analyzed, and countered by a system that knows her better than she knows herself.
In a world ruled by predictive certainty, can one mother's intuition outrun a death sentence written in code?
A Mother's Code is a breakneck techno-thriller that explores the razor-thin line between security and surveillance. It asks the terrifying question of the digital age: When the math says your time is up, do you trust the system-or do you burn it down?
