On the Cloaked Isle, death comes with a schedule.
Seventeen-year-old John Rivers has two weeks to save his sister. Dharma, born with Down syndrome, has been sentenced to execution by Amara-the superintelligent AI that governs their hidden island sanctuary. The calculation is cold: her care costs more than her life contributes. But John refuses to accept that some lives aren't worth saving.
As John and his family race against the countdown, they must choose between the AI that has protected their community for decades and the sister who brings them joy that can't be measured. Defeating Amara might save Dharma-but it could also destroy the only home they've ever known.
In a world where algorithms determine who deserves to live, one family will risk everything to prove that love cannot be calculated.
