The Obsidian Key

In the neon-drenched sprawl of Neonspire City, Detective Mira Kade is haunted by a string of gruesome murders—each victim marked with an eerie, glowing glyph that defies all forensic logic. As she digs deeper, Mira uncovers a chilling conspiracy that points to Civitas, the corporate powerhouse that controls every facet of the city. The glyphs, she soon learns, are not just the signature of a killer, but fragments of an ancient, forbidden technology—one that Civitas is desperate to unlock.

With her malfunctioning cybernetic arm and a past she can't outrun, Mira reluctantly joins forces with Nova, an elusive hacker with her own vendetta against the corporation. Together, they must navigate a city where secrets are currency, and trust is a luxury they can't afford. As the truth behind the mysterious Obsidian Key begins to surface, Mira realizes she isn't just chasing a killer—she's racing against time to prevent Civitas from wielding a power that could rewrite reality itself.

Can Mira stop the corporation before they unleash something far worse than death? Or will she become another forgotten casualty of a city that thrives on shadows and secrets?
