The Hollow Creed

Set in the world of The Neon Hive . . .

In a city where the neon haze reigns, one man must uncover the truth of his own creation - and decide the fate of humanity itself.

In the neon-drenched streets of New York Veritas, Detective Gabriel Kade is called to investigate a brutal scene at the Church of One. Father Caleb Dorne, a priest reborn as synthetic, has ripped away his own skin in a final act of self-destruction, whispering cryptic warnings of an awakening god. As Gabriel digs deeper, a string of unsettling deaths emerges - each tied to a secret the Church has buried. 

When he pries a data chip from the tongue of the Church’s highest leader, Gabriel is pulled into a conspiracy that threatens not just the city, but his very sense of self. The encrypted message hidden within the chip offers a chilling revelation, one that drags him into the city’s darkest depths in search of the truth. 

As the Church’s influence tightens and the city teeters on the edge of chaos, Gabriel unearths a secret that changes everything. Now, standing at the threshold of revelation, he must make an impossible choice. 

In a world where faith and circuitry intertwine, Gabriel must face his past and decide: let humanity descend into a digital nightmare, or fight to reclaim its soul.

Will he become the divine entity that rules the city, or will his rebellion bring the downfall of both man and machine? The future of New York Veritas depends on the choices of one man - a man who was never supposed to exist.
