In a city where every breath is logged, every move predicted, and justice is written in code—one man becomes the glitch in the system.

When a covert arms deal turns into a massacre, ex-operative Marcus Cole is blamed for the bodies. Official channels say he's a terrorist. Reality says otherwise.

Framed by an invisible enemy and hunted by the surveillance empire known as Black Veil, Marcus has one option: go dark. But the system that watches the city doesn't just record what you do—it predicts what you'll do next. And it's modeled off someone very specific:

Him.

Teaming up with Nadia, a brilliant hacker with scars of her own, Marcus uncovers a terrifying truth: Black Veil isn't just surveillance—it's synthetic judgment. Its predictive AI decides guilt before a crime is committed. It writes the narrative, edits the evidence, and erases whoever doesn't comply.

Now fugitives in their own identities, Marcus and Nadia must dismantle a machine that sees all, knows all, and isn't afraid to act first. From rain-slicked back alleys to off-grid bunkers, clone labs to encrypted warzones, they'll fight a system built to outthink them.

But the deeper they go, the more dangerous the truth becomes—because the system was trained using Marcus's own mind. And the final weapon being built... looks just like him.

Black Veil Rising is perfect for readers who love:

✔️ Gritty cyberpunk thrillers with emotional weight
✔️ Rogue operatives, conspiracy warfare, and AI gone rogue
✔️ Sharp dialogue, fast pacing, and morally grey characters
✔️ Dystopias where resistance isn't just rebellion—it's survival
✔️ High-tech noir worlds

The surveillance state has evolved.
The future doesn't need laws—it needs outcomes.
And in this world, predictive justice is just the beginning.

This isn't a simulation. Welcome to the Veil.
