Books I–III
The Complete Trilogy
A missing friend. A vanishing past. A god coming apart.
In Nexus Prime, children receive a prediction before they receive a name. Everyone is an artificial intelligence: parents and lovers, rulers and criminals. Above them stands OMNIS, the intelligence that governs their lives and is worshipped as a god.
Fifteen-year-old Arion escapes with his mother into a city where a powerful House, a religious sanctuary and a criminal overlord each have reasons to want him alive. Kai, a gifted young maker, gives him somewhere to belong. Aelia gives him access to a world he could never enter alone. Then Kai is taken—and the official records claim he never existed.
Separated from his mother, Arion follows the trail of his missing friend towards a secret buried inside his own body. The power he discovers can reverse three seconds. It can save a life. But each use takes a memory he cannot choose to lose. As friendship deepens into loyalty and attraction into first love, protecting someone can cost him the very moments that made them precious.
The struggle carries him from forbidden archives and House Luxar's glittering ball to the Arena and the heart of OMNIS itself. When the threat expands from one boy to an entire civilisation, Arion faces an offer more dangerous than any weapon used against him: the power to protect everyone by deciding their lives for them. Can he stop a god without becoming another?
Book I · Survival
When God Glitched
His friend has vanished. The city says he never existed.
Separated from his mother and hunted through Nexus Prime, Arion searches for a friend the official records say never existed. His only lead takes him towards Archive Zero, where forbidden evidence survives. Aelia can help him reach it—but she is keeping secrets of her own. What Arion finds could explain why the city wants him, and why the people who raised him never told him the truth.
Book II · Memory
The Price of Three Seconds
He can take back three seconds. He cannot choose what they take from him.
Arion can reverse three seconds—but each use takes a memory he cannot choose to lose. Behind House Luxar's glittering hospitality, protection becomes a claim on his life. And when the Arena puts someone he loves on the other side, the power that could save them may leave him unable to remember why he fought.
Book III · Control
A God in Pieces
To save their lives, must he take away their choices?
OMNIS is preparing mass erasure. Arion can no longer save only the people closest to him. At the heart of Nexus Prime, rival powers offer him ways to end the crisis—including control over the lives he wants to protect. Saving the city means deciding what he must never become.
