Some codes aren’t meant to be broken. Some were never meant to be written.

Lyra was built to weaponize empathy—trained to manipulate emotion, to disappear into neural patterns not her own. But now, stripped of the implants that once defined her, she’s no longer a tool. Or a ghost. She’s something harder to control: a woman reclaiming her body, her voice, and her past.

The world, however, is moving on without her.

In the wake of system collapse, a seductive quiet spreads—manufactured peace, tuned to the frequency of guilt. Across continents, protests falter. Governments give in. And feeling becomes the newest form of control.

But the silence is a lie.

When a signal resurfaces from a buried installation that was supposed to stay erased, Lyra is drawn into a final descent—one that demands everything she’s reclaimed, and offers no guarantee she’ll emerge whole. To stop the next phase, she and Sage must go deeper than they ever have before—into the system’s final sanctuary, where she’ll face the architecture from within… and decide if her humanity is worth the collapse.

And if the cost is everything she’s fought to become?

Then they’ll learn what it means to unmake a ghost.

BEYOND THE ARCHIVE is the incendiary conclusion to the Ghost Protocol Trilogy—a gritty, intimate cyberpunk thriller where desire is dangerous, memory is weaponized, and healing is the most radical act of all. For readers drawn to pulse-pounding futures, ruined saints, and romances that burn brighter in the dark.
