Lieutenant Vesper Krell has pink hair, purple eyes, and a kill record she's proud of. She also has a voice in her skull: **Auntie**, the sentient System that runs her mobile suit, calls her *kitten*, and has kept her alive through three years of war. Then a Spacer test-weapon fires - and Auntie goes dark. **Sync rate to zero.** The sharpest, snidest machine in Vesper's life wakes up a stranger, half her skill-tree missing. And the only person who saw the strike coming is Captain Aldric Faye: Spacer-born, soft-handed, a coward Vesper would rather hate than trust. Stranded beneath a drowned city with the man she despises and the machine she loves, Vesper cracks open a file her own command buried - and finds her war-hero family at the bottom of it. *The cities will stand.* She's just learned what they're standing on. **Enemies-to-lovers - sentient-AI mecha - a System rebuilt from zero. System Zero, Book 1.**
