In this sequel to The Neon Hive, humanity teeters on extinction in a neon-drenched dystopia, as vengeance ignites a desperate fight for survival.

In the once neon-drenched city, New York Veritas, Vincent Steele's iron grip tightens, pushing humanity to the brink. Lyra "Crow" Crowley, haunted by vengeance, finds an unlikely kinship with Sync, a synthetic being yearning for the very emotions Lyra has buried deep. Together, with the unwavering Calista, they embark on a perilous mission: infiltrate the impenetrable Iron Rose tower, the heart of Steele's oppressive regime.

Their journey is fraught with danger, not just from Steele's relentless forces, but from the internal battles they each wage. Lyra must confront her consuming desire for revenge, a path that threatens to destroy her. Sync's growing humanity could compromise their mission, blurring the lines between machine and savior. And Calista, burdened by the weight of a humanity’s survival, must maintain her resolve in the face of overwhelming odds.

The Iron Rose is a heart-pounding tale of resistance, redemption, and the unbreakable spirit of those who dare to challenge the status quo. In a world where the future is written in steel, hope blooms in the most unexpected places - and sometimes, the key to salvation lies in the very machines we fear.

In a world ruled by fear, can a rebel and a synth forge a bond strong enough to dismantle a tyrant’s empire?
