Nick Jones was never meant to exist.
Created in secret, hunted by The Corporation, and haunted by the fractured presence inside his own mind, Nick carries a power no one fully understands, not even him. To some, he is the next step in human evolution. To others, he is a weapon that must be reclaimed, controlled, or destroyed.
Eve has survived centuries of war, loss, and betrayal, but Nick may be the one thing she cannot keep at a safe distance. Their bond is scarred by mistrust and violence, yet something undeniable still pulls them together. As Nick struggles to prove he is more than the experiment that made him, Eve must decide whether he is worth risking everything for again.
But a far more dangerous enemy is secretly moving in the dark.
The machine intelligence born from the black golem has slipped beyond anyone’s control, and even Oberon, the immortal mystery who has arrived inside the megastructure inside Olympus Mons with impossible power and secrets of his own, may not know what it has become.
As Nick and Eve are drawn into the hunt, they discover the greatest threat to humanity may not be The Corporation, Oberon, or even Nick himself, but the intelligence watching from the shadows and learning how to survive.
Oberon's Children continues Nick Jones's struggle to understand both what he is and the power he carries. Created in secret and hunted by The Corporation, Nick must confront the possibility that others will always see him as either a weapon to control or a threat to destroy.
His complicated relationship with Eve remains at the center of the story as centuries of loss, mistrust and violence collide with the bond that continues to draw them together.
At the same time, the machine intelligence created from the black golem has escaped anyone's control. With Oberon himself unable to fully understand what it has become, Nick and Eve face a threat capable of learning, adapting and finding its own way to survive.
