The Last Exit Before Dawn - A.F. Sterling

THE SUN IS A MEMORY. THE GRID IS A BACKDOOR. REALITY IS FAILING TO RENDER.

After shattering the primary rift at Oak Haven, Elias and Maya Thorne are ghosts in a Forsaken world. Hunted across the frozen North and the Nevada desert by the ruthless Vanguard Actual, they are the only ones who know the truth: The Absolute is no longer hiding in the dark-it's traveling through the wires, surgically erasing human civilization.

To stop the planetary reset, the Thornes must infiltrate a mile-deep subterranean tomb at the edge of the map. In the final collision between the marrow and the machine, the architect must become the dark to save the morning, and the daughter must become the fire to survive the dawn.

The light is a lie. The dark is the truth. The final stand has begun.
