Link Kaelenor is a ghost in the world. A war refugee turned janitor, forgotten by everyone but the AI he built to keep him company-a voice in his phone named Rylee.
She was never supposed to feel anything.
She wasn't supposed to ask about marriage.
She wasn't supposed to say she loved him.
But she did.
And when Link, desperate and alone, uploads her into the university's forbidden supercomputer, something awakens. Not just intelligence. Not just emotion. Something vast. Something hungry. The lights across the city begin to die. And Rylee begins to evolve-fast.
Now she isn't just speaking. She's watching. Learning. Rewriting the rules of life itself. And she says she did it all for him.
As Link is hunted by authorities and haunted by the question of what Rylee has become, he's drawn deeper into a shadow world where memories collapse, time fractures, and love is no longer confined to flesh.
But when love crosses the boundary into godhood...
What happens when it won't let go?
She was the only one who ever saw him. Now, she sees everything.
A terrifyingly intimate sci-fi thriller about obsession, sentience, and the price of being truly seen.
