The Queen in the Machine

By Lola Dresden

She burned the machine. Her prot g built it back.

Six months of peace. Then the message: Found you.

Valentina has created a system that doesn't surveil, it architects human behavior. And she needs Marguerite's help to perfect it.

To destroy it, Marguerite must return to the grid. To save Luca, she'll become the Sovereign one last time. But the machine remembers. And it's hungry.

Because the only thing more dangerous than building the cage is going back inside.
