In a city sealed beneath the Iron Canopy, algorithms don't just predict crime—they pre-approve your fate. When the state's artificial intelligence marks her daughter as a statistical "prophet," Mara will burn through firewalls and folklore to pull her back.

What begins as a surveillance thriller becomes a razor-edged dystopian sci-fi fight for free will. The regime's Prophet Layer forecasts every move; cameras see the rest. Mara, a former systems auditor turned underground scribe, discovers a forbidden strand of urban fantasy magic—sigils hidden in code—that can scramble the model. Hunted by a glass-handed enforcer and a ministry that worships its machine, she assembles a rogue cell to rewrite the city's operating myth.

This near-future thriller blends circuitry with symbols, data with destiny, as a strong female lead stakes everything on one impossible choice: rescue her child or bring down the canopy that cages them all. Beneath neon rain and black-box predictions, a cyberpunk conspiracy unspools—proving that the most dangerous forecast is hope.
