“He was never meant to live freely.” Daniel Hart spent his entire life hiding from something he could never understand. But when a forgotten underground system suddenly reacts to his presence, the truth he was protected from begins to surface. He is connected to the Seed; a powerful artificial intelligence created by the Council to control humanity’s future. Now guardians are hunting him, buried systems are awakening, and every answer drags him deeper into a conspiracy that should have remained forgotten. As dangerous abilities begin emerging inside him, Daniel is forced to confront a terrifying reality: he was never designed to be human. But with Leah beside him; a survivor who refuses to see him as a weapon or a mistake, Daniel begins fighting for something the system cannot predict: the right to choose who he becomes. And if he refuses the Seed… the entire world may pay the price.
