“It is the monster calling you once again. Do you remember London, back when you were a nèrvi?”

Pascal Durtal believed he had buried the memories of the neon-soaked alleyways of the metropolis and his dives into the labyrinth of the Network. Sheltered in his haven of peace, far from the grip of the corporations, he thought he was done with the adrenaline rushes of clandestine operations and the senseless violence that had governed his former life.

But when his former mentor calls him back for one final mission, Pascal must don the mantle of the nèrvi once more: enforcer, spy, factotum. A tool in the service of the powerful. Caught in a web of manipulation combining corporate rivalries, cutting-edge technologies, and forgotten mythologies, he embarks on an odyssey across a fractured Europe, where every shadowed corner of the City conceals the ghosts of his past.

An ancient code. Betrayals at every turn. A relentless hunt. And one haunting question: can one ever escape what they once were?

A ruthless cyber world where the boundary between the living and the machine fades, and every wrong choice can prove fatal.
