Queen of Horns
Launching in a few days

No clothes. No identity. No city. No problem.

It’s 2054. The real world has rotted to its bones. Streets empty. Buildings hollow. Humanity plugged in and checked out — all except the exiles, the predators, and the lost.

Alex Snow is all three.

Until he meets Gecko. Thirteen years old. Horned. Built for survival in a world that should have killed her twice over. An hour later, she shoots him.

It’s what Alex asked for.

Rome has taken everything from him. So he’s betting the only thing he has left — his life — on a dream.

And while he bleeds in the dirt, from the darkness a lost memory surfaces.
For the first time, the woman from his dreams is within reach.

Exile was supposed to silence him. Rome should have known better.
