The sun is dying faster than it should. Dr. Aris Thorne knows it's not natural—the data doesn't lie. As a quantum physicist tracking the solar decay, she's discovered something terrifying: the Last Light Protocol, humanity's supposed salvation, is deliberately accelerating the sun's death to create the perfect conditions for a selective survival program.When Aris uncovers evidence that the Protocol's selection process is rigged—favoring the wealthy and connected over merit—she real...

In the year 2147, Earth's sun is dying faster than predicted. Dr. Aris Thorne, a quantum physicist and lead researcher on Project Last Light, discovers that the government's Last Light Protocol—designed to preserve humanity's knowledge and culture in massive underground vaults—is actually a cover for a selective survival program. Only the elite will be saved while billions are left to die.When Aris uncovers evidence that the sun's decay was artificially accelerated, she must race a...
