Neo Stellaris is a city of neon lights and dark secrets, and despite the city’s clean energy, its soul is filthy. Corporations own everything, gangs take what’s left, and the people in between that are born with strange Flux powers? They survive however they can. But it’s never enough.
Eon Ibarra has spent her life in the impoverished Magenta District, evading corporate control while supporting her hospitalized mother in whatever way she can, whether that’s sex work or stealing corporate secrets as a cyberrunner. Her rare electromagnetic Flux abilities make her valuable to rebels and corporations alike. When financial desperation drives her back to the underground, she accepts a mission that will either secure her freedom or cost her everything.
Cy Hoshina, a black operations agent for POM Enterprises with matching Flux abilities, has spent a decade enforcing corporate will, making their problems disappear. Permanently. His carefully managed existence is shattered during a chance encounter with Eon—their electromagnetic fields synchronizing in a way neither can explain, or forget..
The mysterious death of a high-ranking POM executive forces them into an uneasy alliance, and Eon and Cy must navigate a city where nothing is what it seems. As they hunt the truth through warring gangs, encrypted data, and a fanatical cult promising salvation through destruction, the power they share ignites something even more dangerous. In a city where power is everything and technology blurs the line between reality and transcendence, they will have to decide what’s more deadly— the conspiracy they are unraveling, or the magnetism between them they can’t escape.
In Neo Stellaris, genuine connection comes at a deadly price, and some data was never meant to be found.
Perfect for fans of Blade Runner, Altered Carbon, and Sarah J, Mass’s Crescent City. If you love captivated by the complex dynamics, enemies-to-lovers tension, and hate capitalism, Neon Flux is your next cyberpunk obsession!
This novel contains mature themes and is intended for adults. Reader guidance can be found at the beginning of the book.
