Ciara's Code: The Code Unleashed A quantum algorithm escapes into the wild, and the world is never the same. Reality becomes programmable when Ciara MacLeod's revolutionary code fragments are unleashed online. What begins as a digital experiment in a Scottish university spirals into global chaos: cities convulse with impossible phenomena, criminals and ordinary citizens wield reality-bending powers, and governments declare martial law, desperate to restore order. In the heart of Edinburgh, once a city of history and festivals, military checkpoints, drones, and quantum detectors now hunt for the code's creator-Ciara herself. Hunted as the architect of the chaos, Ciara must use every ounce of her intellect, her parkour-honed agility, and the help of her AI companion Recode to stay one step ahead of militaries, intelligence agencies, and a ruthless tech billionaire, Leon Kursk, who has weaponised her own inventions. The city's streets become a battleground of surveillance and subterfuge, forcing Ciara through Edinburgh's labyrinthine underground into the lawless territories controlled by code-wielding syndicates. Her only sanctuary lies in the ancient forests of the Scottish Borders, where her family, each with unique skills, prepares for a last stand. But the threat is bigger than any one villain. As the world's infrastructure collapses and reality unravels, Ciara and her family uncover a shadowy conspiracy: a secretive organisation manipulating events from the shadows, intent on using the code to force humanity's next evolutionary leap-at the cost of free will. The MacLeods must race to develop a countermeasure, navigating a landscape where trust is scarce, enemies are everywhere, and every use of the code brings them closer to exposure. Ciara's Code: The Code Unleashed is a razor-sharp science fiction thriller that blends cutting-edge quantum science with the wild beauty of Scotland. Packed with black humour, pulse-pounding action, and a cast of resilient, resourceful heroes, it asks: in a world where anyone can rewrite reality, who decides what's real-and who survives the rewrite? This is your next must-read if you love near-future thrillers, conspiracies with a twist, and heroines who fight with both brains and brawn.
