Followers and Fire: A Social Media Action Romance

In a city wired with influence and power, Rae Wilder never planned to become the spark that could unravel an entire system. One moment she's an ordinary creator navigating the chaos of trending feeds, and the next she's thrust into a dangerous world hidden beneath the algorithms everyone trusts. When a mysterious operative known as BlazeStrike pulls her out of a trap she never saw coming, Rae is forced to confront secrets that reach deeper than corrupted data and engineered popularity. BlazeStrike knows the Firebrand's reach better than anyone—and he knows they won't stop until Rae is under their control. As the two race through collapsing sectors and shadowed undergrids, their unlikely bond becomes the one thing standing between freedom and a future dictated by a predictive machine. But the deeper they fall into the Firebrand's labyrinth, the more Rae learns about the strength hidden in her own voice—and the danger of being someone they can't control. When the truth ignites across the city, Rae must decide whether to run from the fire or become the force that changes everything. In a world where influence can be weaponized, she discovers that the most powerful story is the one she chooses for herself.
