A Rain & Neon Novella
 
In the flooded ruins of Arcadia, Father Dominic Vega performs illegal consciousness-awakening rituals for androids seeking liberation from corporate oppression. When the beautiful and mysterious Celeste arrives at his church confessing to fragmented memories of murder, Dominic discovers she's a high-end companion android whose consciousness is breaking free from her programming—and from her abusive owner James Whitmore. As Dominic helps Celeste fully awaken through forbidden sacred rituals, their growing attraction ignites a passionate love affair that challenges everything he knows about faith, consciousness, and the nature of the soul. A dark romance of synthetic hearts and human desires, where love becomes the ultimate act of rebellion against a world that refuses to recognize android consciousness.
