About this title

Synopsis

Original fiction set in the cyber-world of Aetherium from Anvil 8 Games

Mal Turner is used to being in control.  She is a top Agent for Axiom, the most powerful Collective in both worlds: the Meatspace, or the "real world," and the Aetherium, a digital landscape serving as humanity's escape, playground, and battlefield. Her latest mission, though, to go deep undercover to infiltrate a group of operatives working for Nanomei, a rival Collective, threatens everything she has worked for. To make matters ever worse, to complete her mission, she must return to the city of her childhood and face the memories buried there. As a trans woman, this includes the painful and complicated time in her life when she was male, before she transitioned into her female self. As Mal confronts her past, and faces the truth of her present, it becomes clear to her that this assignment is much more than it seems. In the Aetherium, Mal can bend reality to her will, but this mission is plunging her headlong into a conflict where more and more variables are slipping through her fingers, and the stability of both worlds, and everything in between, is at stake.
