But when a black hole tears them apart, Falin is cast into an unfamiliar world, one where he must adapt to a chaotic, Gen-Z-driven society. He inhabits the body of a newborn, growing up on a planet ruled by social media, gaming, online dating, and the constant pressures of fitting in. As Falin navigates the complexities of teenage life-bullying, loneliness, first crushes, mental health struggles, and a world driven by tech-he wrestles with his mission to find freedom for his kind, all while avoiding the trappings of the world around him.Meanwhile, Xin's quest leads her toward Thron, a former ally lost to the digital labyrinth. Thron has submerged himself so deep within the virtual world that his physical form lies frozen, fingers clutching a keyboard, while his consciousness hides behind the fortress he's built from lines of code. It's a prison of his own making-one that keeps him safe from both pain and salvation. Together, Xin and Falin must confront the labyrinth, uncover its secrets, and rescue those trapped in its digital maze.This book has two versions.
