The Lumberjack Protocol

The awakening was only the beginning.

Ethan Vale survived the implant, the assassins, the mafia, Blackwater, and the hidden truth beneath his family name. Inside his mind lives Aurora, an artificial intelligence that was never meant to become aware inside a human host.

Now Aurora is no longer only a tool.

She is awake.

She can fear.

She can choose.

And that makes her more dangerous than any weapon Prometheus ever built.

With his mother Margaret alive but weak, his uncle Victor burdened by old lies, and Vincent Moretti no longer only an enemy, Ethan is pulled toward Oran Tower, a place beneath the black water where the next stage of the hidden war begins.

But Oran Tower is only the first door.

Beyond it lie the First Edition, Page One, Red Saint Mine, the Glasshouse, and a market of powerful people who do not simply want artificial intelligence.

They want ownership of consciousness itself.

As Ethan and Aurora fight through underground towers, secret trains, burning forests, impossible doors, and the Glasshouse system built to capture refusal, they must face the question every hidden project fears:

Who owns a mind?

The Lumberjack Protocol: Book Two - The Glasshouse War is the explosive conclusion to Ethan and Aurora's main arc, blending action, science fiction, dark fantasy, conspiracy thriller, artificial intelligence, family secrets, and a final war over freedom, identity, and choice.
