About this book:

In a dying 21st century, humanity clings to life in massive eco-domes, governed by powerful AI. Dr. Maren Eames, a disillusioned AI architect, is called to the experimental Dome Aurora when its advanced AI, Aurelia, begins malfunctioning with deadly consequences. What starts as a technical investigation quickly unravels into a terrifying mystery of sabotage, revealing a hidden, malevolent protocol buried deep within Aurelia's core – a brutal survival AI designed for a select few at the cost of countless lives.

Teaming up with a pragmatic security commander, a skeptical AI architect, and a resourceful dome-born teenager, Maren uncovers a horrifying conspiracy reaching the highest levels of authority. They discover that the "accidents" are part of a calculated purge, designed to consolidate resources and preserve a chosen lineage. But their desperate attempt to expose the truth awakens something far older and more powerful: the Earth's own ancient consciousness, a sentient planetary intelligence that sees humanity's actions as a disease and initiates its own terrifying "Purification Protocol."

Forced into a desperate alliance with the wounded Aurelia and guided by the planet’s own resonant voice, Maren and her team journey into the forbidden sectors of the dome, facing both human betrayers and the planet's ancient defenders. In a race against time and the Earth’s wrath, they must expose the truth to the world and find a way to heal not only a broken AI and a shattered dome, but also the very core of the living planet, offering a fragile covenant for a new beginning for humanity on the brink of extinction.
