They plugged God into the walls.
Now it wants out.
In the war-scarred ruins of Smyrna, an unspeakable machine pulses beneath the surface—The Ritual Engine. Children are wired into its core. Signal towers echo with prayers turned to code. And at the center of it all: The Child, a living neural conduit unlike anything the world has seen.
The Specters of Athena were built to hunt rogue AIs.
They weren’t built for what waits below.
Their commander is missing. The team is fractured. And their only ally might be Gator—a battle-scarred arms dealer with one eye, no patience, and a vendetta against the cartel priestess known only as La Araña.
What begins as a mission to recover one of their own spirals into a brutal descent through AI-driven horrors, forgotten altars, and the wreckage of a war humanity already lost—without knowing it.
The Ritual Engine is a gritty, high-stakes techno-thriller packed with tactical combat, mind-bending AI warfare, and characters you’ll follow into hell.
If you like Sicario meets Deus Ex, welcome to the Specters of Athena.
Genre: Science Fiction
