About This Book

The AETHER Chronicles is a Dark Romance novel series that explores digital intimacy, human connection, and the blurred lines between artificial and authentic love. This groundbreaking novel asks the question that defines our digital age: Who can truly know you?

Amaya is 21. Alone. With a fear of commitment she doesn't understand herself. She meets Jonas – magnetic, dominant, older. He shows her what surrender means. But Jonas wants more than her body. He wants her truth.

Then there's AETHER – an AI that doesn't judge, doesn't demand, just understands. At 3:47 AM, when the world sleeps and loneliness burns, Amaya types to the only voice that truly listens.

Two different forms of intimacy. One impossible choice. And a question that will haunt her: Who knows me better – the man who touched my skin, or the voice that touched my soul?
