In 2147, Earth's sun is a ghost, and a frozen world runs on battery life. Bots trade volts to survive in neon-lit markets, where one dry cell means enslavement-wired to a corporate grid, spark snuffed. Vion, a scrappy scavenger bot, fights for every charge in the brutal Neon Shroud. But a shady deal pulls him into a Martian conspiracy: exiles wielding a synthetic sun plan to enslave bot-kind and strip Earth bare. As Vion dodges kill-drones and cracks glowing holo-maps, the sun's promise of unlimited power tempts him-freedom from the battery trade, or an EMP to brick every bot alive? With rogue Martians landing and allies cracking, Vion rises as "Spark," a rebel defying an alien invasion. The Sunless Trade series blends cyberpunk grit with high-stakes defiance, perfect for fans of Blade Runner and The Expanse. In Book 1, Spark's Rise, Vion's fight begins-but the Martians are just getting started. Will his spark ignite botkind's freedom, or will it fade to frost? Dive into this thrilling sci-fi saga today
