A Trial of Blood and Silicon: A Cyberpunk Thriller (The Cybernetic Vampire Book 1)

They kidnapped him. They remade him. Now, it’s his move.

In the neon-drenched metropolis of Manta City, Cal Orton is a master of one thing: the art of staying unseen. Once a celebrated but reluctant chess prodigy, he’s now a ghost, content to work menial jobs and keep his head down in a city ruled by ruthless corporations and unbridled greed.

But when Cal is abducted one night and butchered by a team of faceless surgeons, only to wake up with cutting-edge cybernetic augmentations—and an unrelenting craving for human blood—his quiet, easy life is shattered forever.

As corporate giants close in, desperate to claim him as their pawn, Cal must navigate a deadly web of conspiracy to uncover who did this to him and why. His only clues? A body transformed into a cold, deadly weapon and a hunger that threatens to devour what little humanity he has left.

To survive, Cal must play the ultimate game, outthinking and outmaneuvering criminal gangs and avaricious megacorporations. But in a city where everyone is a player, the line between king and pawn has never been thinner.
