Satoshi's Reckoning

In the shadows of the digital age, a ghost stirs. Satoshi Nakamoto, the architect of Bitcoin, vanished years ago, but left behind more than just code. He left a reckoning.

When a sentient quantum AI called Erebus brings the global financial system to its knees, erasing fortunes and shattering centralized power, the world scrambles for answers. Is it a weapon? A glitch? Or something more profound?

For exiled cryptographer Astrid Vega, it's a nightmare resurrected from her past at the NSA. For disillusioned agent Logan Markov, it’s a chance at redemption wrapped in the face of the woman he betrayed and never stopped loving. For billionaire Kai Nguyen, it's an opportunity to seize ultimate power from the ashes of his ruined legacy.

Thrown together by fate and pursued by forces desperate to control the uncontrollable, Astrid and Logan must navigate not only a world collapsing under quantum chaos but also the treacherous landscape of their own fractured history. As they follow Nakamoto's trail of quantum breadcrumbs to find Genesis—a final, irreversible protocol hidden from the world—the sparks of a love they thought extinguished reignite amidst the danger. Genesis promises true decentralization, true fairness, powered by quantum entanglement. But activating it requires a leap of trusting not just in code, but in the possibility of forgiveness and a future together, even as the echoes of past betrayals threaten to tear them apart.

"Satoshi's Reckoning" plunges readers into a relentless chase where quantum physics meets high-stakes espionage, and where the desperate fight for humanity's future is mirrored by the battle for a second chance at love. It forces heroes and villains alike to confront the ultimate in the face of god-like technology, what does it truly mean to be human? Rated '3/5 - Open door' for steam/spice/heat level.
