Book 1

The Whale Wallet

POV · Mara Khouri — Lebanese-American blockchain forensic analyst

A blockchain forensic analyst at the UN crypto-crime task force traces a dormant Bitcoin wallet and finds the first thread in a design she was never meant to see. Someone is waking up the ghost of Satoshi — and the ghost is answering.

Book 2

Proof of Work

POV · Multiple — Mara, Dani Asker, Sørensen, Yuki

Fourteen months after the awakening, Mara leads the decentralist resistance while the Cordon tightens control — and the intelligence that started it all begins to speak. A geopolitical techno-thriller about what it costs to hold a movement together when the movement's best argument is the thing it cannot afford to become.

Book 3

The Merge

POV · Multiple

Humanity has forty days to demonstrate decentralized coordination at planetary scale — tested through four crucibles, any one of which could collapse the effort. The trilogy's civilizational-stakes finale: four anchors, forty days, and a protagonist who must ask the world to do the thing she has spent her whole life refusing to do personally.
