Through the Glass Protocol

by Brinda Phokeerdass

Hidden in the shadows of a city lit by flickering neon and ruled by all-seeing surveillance, Nyla Vance has spent her life mastering the art of invisibility. But when her mother — once a loyal Prism operative turned fugitive — is captured and taken to the regime's most secure stronghold, Nyla is forced to abandon the safety of the shadows.

To save the only family she has left, she must become Lain Alden: a loyal recruit, a perfect lie buried beneath layers of implanted memories and secrets. As she navigates the ruthless halls of Prism Academy, Nyla finds herself entangled in a dangerous game of deception, haunted by a boy who seems to see through every mask she wears. With time running out and the walls closing in, Nyla must decide how much of herself she is willing to sacrifice — and whether the truth is worth the cost of finally being seen.
