O knihe

death isn't always fatal
In a near post-dystopian future, an immortal assassin fights to defend civilization's last city from the encroaching threat of mysterious invaders - all while struggling to protect those he loves from the twisted machinations of those he was bred to serve.

Kyn is an Envoy, an elite assassin and messenger of the Unity.
Trapped by a life of endless servitude and death, existentially lost and stuck in a self-destructive loop, Kyn is forced to confront his assumed place in the world when a routine assignment pulls back the curtain on Unity lies - exposing ancient enemies and raising new hopes while challenging everything he thought to be real.
And threatening everyone he cares about.
Now, with hacker boy-toy Alec in tow, and aided by fellow Envoys - the will-bending Ashe, and indestructible Runa - Kyn is in a race against time, his masters, and the mysterious Dividers, as he blazes a violent path through the neon lit stacks of Earth's last city on his quest to find answers.
Answers that will ultimately bring him face-to-face with humanities' glittering future. Or cost him everything.
He just has to decide how far he's willing to go for the truth.
And if he can trust the AI.

Action-packed and dripping with slick style, KYN is a queer, hopepunk anthem set in a post-dystopian world of blazing colour and neon grit. Hyperkinetic and irreverent, it's a f*ck you to the 'Bury your Gays' trope, and a brazenly campy homage to the cyberpunk classics that birthed the genre. Filled to its ever-sassy brim with irreverent immortal assassins, charming hacker boy-toys, and gender fluid sirens, KYN is a love story to the indomitable spirit of queerness that dares to dream of a new and better future beyond dystopia.
