In Night City, legends are made of chrome, blood, and betrayal. Sofie Arnesen has carved out a fragile life in the Afterlife’s mercenary underworld alongside her husband, Ares. Haunted by the ghosts of Ymir Skandatek and the shadow of the AI that once hunted her, she fights to hold on to her humanity in a city built to strip it away. But the past doesn’t stay buried. Tyler “Deathwing” Monterro, an old Wire Hound with chrome in his veins and cyberpsychosis whispering at the edges of his mind, is chasing a dangerous revelation—one that could shatter Sofie’s hard-won freedom and unleash something far worse. As old loyalties fracture and new gods rise from the neon-lit ruins, Sofie and Ares must choose: cling to the fragile life they’ve built, or risk everything to stop a monster born of chrome, code, and obsession.
