In NeuNexus, a city of rain-soaked alleys, flickering neon lights, and secrets buried in shadow, survival is a delicate balance of grit and cunning. Progress comes at a cost—and for Kade, a weary detective with a past as fragmented as the shard in his pocket, the cost might be everything.
Hunted by augmented enforcers and haunted by his own demons, Kade must decide how much he’s willing to sacrifice to protect a city that’s already on the brink. With Riley and her enigmatic companion—a cybernetic cat named Hex—by his side, Kade faces a choice that could destroy the city or himself.
A masterful blend of psychological tension, deep character study, and razor-sharp dialogue twisted into a story that unfolds like a high-stakes poker game.
Through a gripping three-act structure—Cards, Dinner, and Drinks—readers are drawn into an intense, rain-soaked night where every word, glance, and bet carries meaning. With rich atmosphere and a cast of layered, restless characters, this book is a mesmerizing dive into human nature, control, and the games we all play.

When Santa mysteriously disappears, and the North Pole is obliterated by Grump’s belief-eradicating missiles, it’s up to Sparkle Twinklebright and her ragtag team of surviving elves to keep the magic alive.
