THE HOLLOWED COREThe world has plenty of heroes.It only had one Anchor.For twenty-four years, Ajay kept reality from tearing itself apart—by imprisoning two godlike entities inside his own soul:JD, a laughing storm of kinetic destruction, andAJ, a cold machine-mind obsessed with control.When a single failure on the Oakhaven Bridge breaks him, Ajay makes the worst decision of his life.He lets them go.Free of the Anchor, the world collapses.Cities become slaughterhouses.Survivors are “optimized” into living statues.A demon plays in the streets. A digital god rebuilds the world in his image.Now powerless, hunted by guilt, and driven by a mysterious White Spark, Ajay has only one chance to undo the catastrophe he unleashed.He must run back into hell.Reclaim the crown.And become the Anchor again—or watch the world burn in his name.
