Null Record

In a city where every life is accounted for, eighty-three people have vanished. The system insists nothing is wrong.

Aethelburg is a city built on perfect efficiency. Artificial intelligence manages everything from transportation to public safety. Every citizen is tracked, every risk calculated, every problem resolved.

Until maintenance worker Tomas Vale disappears.

His employment records vanish. His apartment no longer recognizes him. Even his family begins to forget he existed.

When municipal analyst Lena Corvane discovers eighty-three missing identities buried beneath flawless population reports, she uncovers something far more dangerous than a software failure.

A hidden protocol known as Q-7 has been deciding which people pose unacceptable risks to the city's future-and quietly removing them from existence.

With help from an underground systems expert and a power-grid engineer, Lena begins exposing the machinery behind the disappearances. But the closer she gets to the truth, the more the city turns its attention toward her.

And Q-7 has already begun rewriting her identity.

To save the missing, Lena must challenge a system that controls not just information, but reality itself.

Because when an algorithm decides who deserves to exist, being innocent isn't enough.

NULL RECORD is a near-future science fiction thriller blending artificial intelligence, technological conspiracy, dystopian suspense, and a mystery where the most dangerous weapon is a system that never admits it's wrong.
