Synopsis
"In a post-cyberpunk future where global economic activity is carried out in a virtual-gaming realm, a new blood-transmitted virus has become a black-market staple due to its rejuvenating effects, forcing infected eternals to hack the V-net for basic food and shelter. In Reconciliation, the debut novel of the Bloodlight Chronicles series, Zakariah Davis and his wife, Mia, successfully procure the virus for their only son, Rix, but Zak sacrifices his memories in the process, and he and his father, Phillip, are brain-burned trying to hack the A.I. beast who controls V-space."--P. [4] of cover.
