Paperback. You are not your memories. You are what survives them.In the fractured world of Severance City, every citizen is tethered to a "Tangle"-a living, code-bound companion visible through implants and augmented sight. These digital entities adapt, protect, and expose you. But when the system decides you don't belong, your Tangle becomes the leash that strangles.Miran Kest is a memory-runner: smuggling identity fragments and stolen pasts through a city built on surveillance, betrayal, and decaying corporate power. His only ally is Six, his Tangle-an unstable construct that's begun to mutate. What was once a silent assistant now speaks in borrowed memories and impossible truths.When a memory-shard fuses with Six, it unlocks something deeper: a connection to the Blackwire, the long-buried layer of abandoned AI systems and rogue code pulsing beneath the city's digital grid. From this forgotten network, Miran learns that Project Synch is more than mind control-it's a full-scale rewrite of reality, deleting anything wild, uncertain, or unapproved.As Synch's enforcers close in, Miran and Six are forced underground-into the Blackwire's corrupt depths, where broken minds linger, corporate gods whisper in binary, and memory itself is currency. But each step forward unravels their sense of self. Is Miran really who he thinks he is? Is Six just a companion-or a reborn consciousness fighting for its own autonomy?What begins as a rebellion becomes something stranger: the birth of a shared identity neither human nor machine, indivisible and unpredictable.For readers of high-concept cyberpunk like Neuromancer and Blindsight, this is a brutal, beautiful journey through identity collapse, digital ghosts, and the cost of freedom in a world ruled by memory.The Tangle Protocol is the first stand-alone novel in the Blackwire sequence-a story where your soul lives in code, the past can be hacked, and freedom might cost everything you remember being.

You are not your memories. You are what survives them.
In the fractured world of Severance City, every citizen is tethered to a “Tangle”—a living, code-bound companion visible through implants and augmented sight. These digital entities adapt, protect, and expose you. But when the system decides you don’t belong, your Tangle becomes the leash that strangles.
Miran Kest is a memory-runner: smuggling identity fragments and stolen pasts through a city built on surveillance, betrayal, and decaying corporate power. His only ally is Six, his Tangle—an unstable construct that’s begun to mutate. What was once a silent assistant now speaks in borrowed memories and impossible truths.
When a memory-shard fuses with Six, it unlocks something deeper: a connection to the Blackwire, the long-buried layer of abandoned AI systems and rogue code pulsing beneath the city’s digital grid. From this forgotten network, Miran learns that Project Synch is more than mind control—it’s a full-scale rewrite of reality, deleting anything wild, uncertain, or unapproved.
As Synch’s enforcers close in, Miran and Six are forced underground—into the Blackwire’s corrupt depths, where broken minds linger, corporate gods whisper in binary, and memory itself is currency. But each step forward unravels their sense of self. Is Miran really who he thinks he is? Is Six just a companion—or a reborn consciousness fighting for its own autonomy?
What begins as a rebellion becomes something stranger: the birth of a shared identity neither human nor machine, indivisible and unpredictable.
For readers of high-concept cyberpunk like Neuromancer and Blindsight, this is a brutal, beautiful journey through identity collapse, digital ghosts, and the cost of freedom in a world ruled by memory.
The Tangle Protocol is the first stand-alone novel in the Blackwire sequence—a story where your soul lives in code, the past can be hacked, and freedom might cost everything you remember being.
