Collision Protocol

"In the chaos of the system, the only real connection is ours." Dante is a ghost. A digital architect of shadows, he survives in high-tech bunkers beneath Berlin, erasing trails and guarding the darkest secrets of the global empire, CINEXA. But his pristine lines of code hide a burning memory: five years ago, in Geneva, he watched the world go up in flames—and he's been living with the guilt ever since. Íris Silva is the one glitch Dante could never bring himself to delete. The daughter of a Geneva fire victim, she carries the physical evidence capable of toppling the CINEXA dynasty. Íris isn't looking for justice; she wants cold, hard revenge against the man who stole her future. When the hunter becomes the protector. Sent to eliminate Íris and retrieve the evidence, Dante makes the one choice he was never supposed to make: he saves her. That single error in judgment puts a target on his own back. Now, hunted through the industrial streets of Berlin and the pulse-pounding rhythm of underground techno clubs, they must unite to survive. While Íris faces danger with raw physical courage, Dante turns the city into a digital chessboard, hacking systems, cameras, and escape routes in real-time. But Victor Vance doesn't tolerate failure. He is in Berlin to execute the Collision Protocol—and the price of exposing the truth might be the destruction of every life Dante swore to protect. The truth has a cost. The system demands a sacrifice. And the collision is inevitable.
