They took her freedom. Her future. Her life. They should have killed her. In the neon megacity of Port Jupiter, the corporations are king. They decide what tech you get, what medicine you can afford, where you can live. They win power through manipulation, subterfuge, and murder. In the eyes of the corporations, Era Delacroix is nobody. She's twenty, scraping to afford her mother's medical care and a better life with her partner, when she unwittingly steps into a decades-old war between corps and finds herself betrayed and unjustly imprisoned in the House of If, a technology-drought prison where the corps send traitors to rot. Era knows who betrayed her, and after years of curdling hatred, escaping the prison, and discovering a treasure any corp would kill to have, she returns to Port Jupiter. She has a new name and a plan to destroy the lives of the people who grew rich and powerful by ruining hers, no matter what the cost. Era’s revenge becomes a struggle between her old self and the new, forgiveness and retribution, the love she lost and the one she can’t live without. And once she pours salt on the old wounds of Port Jupiter, she’ll start a revolution even she can’t control. What to expect: - An epic tale of corporate power, betrayal, and revenge, inspired by Alexandre Dumas's The Count of Monte Cristo. - Daily chapter updates until Sept. 29, then MWF updates through the end of the book - Chapters post at 11:00am EST - Total chapters at completion: 72 - Early chapters + bonus content on Patreon - Raging against billionaires, hypercapitalism, big corporations, corrupt politicians, etc. - Cyberpunk sword duels - Romance and intense character relationships, as a treat - Eventual poly relationship
