Book One of the Divine Dereliction Series

When a revolutionary app claims it can hardwire confidence and unlock brilliance, the world celebrates. For journalist Fiona Keagan, reeling after a humiliating on-air panic attack, it feels like salvation. One download later, she awakens transformed— fearless, magnetic, unstoppable. 

But as Fiona rises, tragedy strikes, and a disturbing pattern emerges: Manhattan’s suicide rate has spiked 38% in ninety days. When she refuses to bury the story, her world fractures— cryptic warnings, shadowy watchers, and a growing sense that her thoughts are no longer entirely her own. Abducted into a hidden world of neural labs and godlike coders, Fiona uncovers the truth: the app isn’t a confidence booster—it’s a weapon engineered to erase fear, free will, and ultimately, individuality itself. 

Now hunted and running out of time, Fiona must outsmart an intelligence that can anticipate her every move…and decide whether brilliance is worth the price of her soul
