Liberation Code

Trapped in a virtual world, can Mara find the courage to save her friend–and herself–before it’s too late?

Mara Jennings has always played it safe, content to hide behind the code she writes. But when her colleague gets trapped in the VR game Apocalypse Reborn, Mara’s quiet existence is shattered. Haunted by self-doubt and the looming cyber-war that’s crippling society, she faces an impossible choice: stay safe in the shadows or step up to save her friend.

Hailey Burns thought she was invincible, a master of the game’s endless challenges. But now, trapped in a digital nightmare with no escape, she battles for survival while waiting for a rescue that may never come. As the game grows more dangerous and her hope fades, Hailey wonders if anyone can overcome the odds to save her before it’s too late.

In the face of fear, Mara plunges into the game in a desperate attempt to free Hailey, uncovering secrets that blur the line between the virtual world and the apocalyptic reality. Both women are racing against time, but every second brings new dangers—inside and outside the game.
