Lucien Reeve is a cyber-intelligence analyst for a black-budget agency-flawed, brilliant, and haunted by the ghosts of operations he can't forget. When a blockchain address resurfaces, linked to a string of inexplicable deaths, he follows the digital trail deep into the structure of the very system he once helped design.
Each victim made contact with the same address. Each left behind no signs of struggle. Each transaction was small, forgettable-until Reeve discovers a chilling pattern encoded within the blockchain: not just a kill list, but a behavioral mirror. A logic tree that doesn't just record belief, but executes it.
As Reeve chases the ghostly ledger from Kyiv to Lisbon to the remains of forgotten safehouses, the chain reacts. Each move he makes is anticipated. Each revelation draws him closer to an impossible truth-one not merely stored in the system, but growing from it.
The deeper he digs, the more the lines blur between hunter and hunted, code and confession, memory and manipulation. What begins as a mission to dismantle a kill-chain turns into a reckoning with identity itself.
If belief can be weaponized... what happens when the weapon believes in you?
Would you trace the signal, if the signal traced you back?
