The Last Breath of Night City

Genius filter architect Vesper is fired by Arasaka's new CEO Leora and traitor Daniel. She triggers a buried downgrade program, nearly crashing the city's air purification system. Founder Marcus begs her back—paying with 20% shares, a public apology, and Daniel's expulsion. Now controlling thirty million lives, Vesper becomes a target. Hunted for power, revenge, and survival, she transforms from discarded architect into the one running the game.
