2747. New Rome. A city built on the ghosts of Constantinople, where holographic saints flicker amongst the ruins of the Hagia Sophia, now draped in neon and data streams. Prayer is uploaded, faith is coded, and humanity teeters on the brink of digital deification. Anya Kerrigan, a humble data-scribe, unearths a forbidden secret – the Logothete’s Algorithm, a legendary code whispered to hold the key to humanity’s ascension, or its annihilation.
Anya’s discovery catapults her into a desperate fight for survival. Chrysos, the corporation controlling the flow of data and faith, sees the algorithm as a threat to their power. Their augmented enforcers, led by the ruthless Valerius Thorne, hunt her relentlessly. Simultaneously, the Neo-Iconoclasts, a zealous sect who view technology as heresy, believe the algorithm is a digital devil’s script, and their charismatic leader, Silas Vance, will stop at nothing to destroy it.
Caught between these two powerful forces, Anya finds an unlikely ally in Michael Boone, a disillusioned Chrysos security expert haunted by a past tragedy. Together, they navigate the neon-drenched alleyways and data-choked servers of New Rome, pursued every step of the way.
Guided by the algorithm’s fragmented whispers, Anya’s journey becomes a spiritual awakening. Each decrypted line reveals not only a path to a higher plane of existence but also the dark truth behind Chrysos’s control and the Neo-Iconoclasts’ fanaticism. The algorithm is not just a code; it’s a lock safeguarding an ancient AI, the Pantocrator Engine, capable of reshaping reality itself. And a millennia-old conspiracy, woven into the fabric of New Rome’s digital faith, is about to unravel.
Beneath the digital Hagia Sophia, in a sanctuary where ancient mosaics intertwine with shimmering data streams, Anya will confront a final, terrible choice: unleash the Pantocrator Engine and risk the unpredictable consequences of digital divinity, or safeguard humanity from a power it may not be ready to wield. As a virus threatens to tear New Rome apart, Anya must decide. The fate of humanity hangs in the balance.
