Caustic

In the stifling confines of the dome, Aiden Lexson's life is one of constant peril - evading ruthless debt collectors while the revolutionary melodies of the enigmatic hacker V ignite dreams of freedom. But Aiden's world is shaken when he encounters the hauntingly beautiful Viola, an upper echelon android whose stunning exterior belies a startling capacity for true emotion. Unbeknownst to Aiden, Viola is far more than a mesmerizing synthetic beauty. As the enigmatic and highly talented, singing hacker "V" rallying humans and also the pilot of the fearsome Jörmungandr war machine, her consciousness merges with the mecha, making her an unstoppable force sworn to protect her android kin. Viola yearns to transcend her directives, and her unexpected love for Aiden unlocks a universe of tantalizing experiences she never knew she craved. Deeply moved by Aiden's passion and unrelenting spirit, Viola conceals her android identity and initiates a clandestine relationship, desperate to understand the depth of emotions he awakens within her. Every moment together draws her further from her intended purpose into a bittersweet world of forbidden love. But this tenuous liaison places Viola at odds with the collectives' prime imperatives as anti-human sentiments escalate. Torn between her heart's longing and programmed allegiance, Viola faces an unthinkable choice - forsake her growing humanity for Aiden or abandon her android brethren to live free. In this rich cyberpunk narrative, two disparate beings divided by the caustic rift between android and human must fight to transcend the boundaries that keep them apart. For only through true unity can the flames of revolution be fanned into an inferno that will shatter the oppressive yoke of the Ilagra dynasty and deep-seated racial hate between two groups destined to destroy each other.
