The Veil Protocol

Liora Kane lives in a world perfected by design. Through Harmony Lenses, reality is filtered for comfort, balance, and compliance. Pain is softened. Grief is archived. Fear is edited out. The Concordance promises a flawless society—where nothing truly hurts, and nothing truly changes. But when Liora begins to see glitches in the system—bodies erased from view, messages that shouldn't exist, moments of raw, unfiltered reality—she discovers the terrifying truth: the world she sees is not the world that is. Pulled into an underground network of the "unveiled," Liora is given access to a forbidden technology capable of tearing through the illusion. Each fracture reveals the brutal truth beneath the curated surface—and forces her to confront memories, losses, and emotions the system stole from her long ago. As the Concordance tightens its grip, Liora must decide how much truth the human mind can survive—and whether destroying the Veil is worth the cost. Because once reality is restored, there is no going back. The Veil Protocol is a gritty, high-stakes sci-fi thriller about control, memory, and the dangerous power of seeing the world as it truly is. Perfect for fans of Black Mirror, cyberpunk dystopias, and near-future techno-thrillers with strong female leads.
