The Titan's Debt

<p><strong>Beneath every origin story lies a version someone paid to bury.</strong></p> <p>Mirielle Laurant—brilliant financial researcher with a sixth sense for deception—knows the official tale of Kidemonas CyberSecurity: garage prodigies, genius code, global domination. Clean. Heroic. Sanitized. But then she spots the crack—a minor discrepancy that should’ve been nothing.</p> <p>Still reeling from her husband’s murder and armed with grief, razor instincts, and a deep distrust of clean narratives, Mirielle assembles a quiet task force: Harriet Godwin, a forensic-minded researcher with a vicious eye for data; Ivy Choate, a rookie reporter whose ambition outruns her access; and Joe Pulver, a retired CIA analyst who never really retired.</p> <p>What begins as a financial anomaly spirals into something far darker—a decades-old crime, expertly buried and ruthlessly protected. And with Kidemonas on the brink of launching the world’s first Artificial General Intelligence, the stakes shift from reputational ruin to global risk.</p> <p>Mirielle isn’t just chasing the truth. She’s dodging surveillance, confronting ghosts, and betting everything on the one thing they never saw comin her.</p> <p>They built something too big to fail. She’s about to prove them wrong.</p> <p><strong><em>The Titan’s Debt</em> is a gripping mystery-thriller where buried secrets, corrupt power, and the ominous rise of AI collide—crafted for readers who relish the tension of Baldacci and the depth of Larsson.</strong></p> <p>_________________________________</p> <p><strong>Praise for Mirielle Laurant:</strong></p> <p>★ ★ ★ ★ ★ A smashing tour de force of intrigue, deception, suspense, and compelling action.
