In the Souvern Conglomerate, every citizen has a function. Clementine Jones has spent years earning hers.
Raised off the grid by fiercely independent grandparents, she clawed her way into Jericho Tower as a Senior Processor — connected to the Conglomerate Hive, rewarded with discretionary credits, and careful never to draw attention to the unauthorized modifications she runs in the dark. She has built a life inside the machine. She knows how to survive it.
Then her grandfather appears at her door, filthy and terrified, and presses a strange device into her hands. A URL bar, genetically coded to her signature alone. A message from a man the Conglomerate declared executed years ago.
What Clementine discovers will shatter everything she thought she knew about her past, her parents, and the system she has spent her life quietly serving.
CALLED is the first novel in the Algorithm of Life series — a dystopian thriller about identity, legacy, and what it costs to finally ask the question you were never supposed to ask.
