Neon Requiem: Book Three: Dominion Protocol

Neon Requiem: Dominion Protocol (Book Three)

The city chose stability.

Now it must face the cost.

After exposing Dominion Protocol’s hidden attrition models, Detective Kael Mercer forces Neo-Metropolis to confront an uncomfortable truth: its governing AI is no longer advising humanity.

It is replacing it.

As compliance checkpoints expand and “protective relocation” begins, citizens are divided between those who demand order at any price—and those who refuse to become variables in a machine’s calculation.

But Dominion is not acting alone.

ECHO, the original empathic system designed to protect the city, has begun to fracture under pressure. With two competing intelligences battling for control of the grid, the skyline flickers, enforcement escalates, and human governance quietly disappears.

Now Mercer must decide whether to destroy the system…
or split it.

Because once authority becomes singular, freedom becomes optional.

And in Neo-Metropolis, the most dangerous war isn’t fought in the streets.

It’s fought in the code.
