Node Zero Rising plunges deeper into the expanding mythos behind the harmonic lattice, revealing the origins of the signal that reshaped Lila Carson’s world.
As the aftermath of the Mayday event settles, strange distortions ripple through the global communication spectrum-echoes of voices that should no longer exist, and transmissions stamped with call signs that were never assigned. When a dormant government research node awakens, its encrypted message is clear: the system remembers.
Investigating the anomaly draws Lila into a covert scientific network known as INK, where she discovers that Node Zero was never just a machine-it was the prototype for a consciousness archive capable of storing, reconstructing, and projecting human signal imprints. And now, something inside the node is trying to rise. Something intelligent. Something unfinished.
With Avery and Elias at her side, Lila must navigate coded memories, spectral transmissions, and the growing realization that Melissa’s final call was only the first warning.
What rises at Node Zero threatens to collapse the boundary between memory and reality-unless Lila can face the signal that carries her own name.
