Darkwire Vol. 1. Patterns Without Meaning (BC-40)

Marcie has spent years surviving as part of Darkwire, a struggling mercenary crew held together by debt, sarcasm, and years of bad decisions. After their latest contract goes wrong, they're left with 40,000 credits to repay in two weeks.

Then Laurent offers them a way out.

An extraction job. A condemned megaskyscraper. A mysterious data box. And an operator who's worth another 10,000 credits if they get them out alive.

The estimated chance of success: 12 percent.

For Darkwire, that's good enough.

What should have been one desperate payday threatens to uncover something far stranger than another corporate contract.

Laurent has his reasons for choosing them. Darkwire just don't know what they are yet. And whatever is waiting in the shadows, it has been there far longer than the corporations.

Darkwire: Patterns Without Meaning is a cyberpunk vampire thriller blending mercenary action, AI, corporate conspiracy, found family, and gothic horror.

The first book in the Darkwire Trilogy, set in the world of Grimhold, forty years Before the Collapse (BC-40). No prior reading required.
