Publisher's Synopsis
Nathan Riley never believed in conspiracies. He trusted in logic, in the tangible reality of the world around him-until the night he saw it glitch. A strange frequency exposed a hidden structure beneath reality, a vast digital architecture threading through the world like an unseen blueprint. When his discovery triggers the attention of a shadowy organization known as Dominion, Nathan is thrust into a dangerous pursuit for the truth. Dominion is not just watching him-they are enforcing the simulation, controlling what humanity perceives as real. Their agents, the Gray Men, erase anyone who dares to see beyond the illusion. With the help of Lena Carter, a rogue hacker with her own ties to the underground, Nathan uncovers whispers of an enigmatic force-The Invisible Architects. Legends say they are the true designers of reality, hidden beings who once controlled the system before Dominion seized control. But the Architects have been silent for centuries... until now. A series of resets-mysterious anomalies where the world reconstructs itself-lead Nathan and Lena to a buried city beneath the desert, a convergence point where the simulation's original code still pulses with ancient energy. As they evade Dominion's enforcers and decode the hidden messages left behind, they realize the horrifying truth: Reality is a test. Every civilization before them has been erased. Rewritten. Reset. And unless Nathan and Lena uncover the Architects' true purpose, humanity will be next. In a race against time, hunted by forces beyond comprehension, they must make an impossible choice: accept the illusion, or break the system forever. Because once you see the truth-there's no going back.
