Uplink: Heart of the Grid: Volume 1 (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798274298469)

In the city of Nova Haven, power doesn't just flow through cables - it runs through people.

Kyro "ArcShot" Watts, a street-smart teen with a secret electric pulse running through his veins, never asked to be a hero. But when a shadow tech-corporation called NovaCrop begins experimenting on the city's energy grid, turning it into a weapon, Kyro is forced to plug into a war he didn't start.

With the help of Vera Lin, a rogue engineer with a mind sharper than her drones, and Drayven Holt, a fighter rebuilt from the edge of death, Kyro must uncover the truth behind "The Grid" - and his connection to it. Every charge, every spark, pulls him closer to something bigger than power itself... destiny.

But in Nova Haven, heroes aren't born - they're wired, scarred, and tested in the dark.

And when the city lights go out, only those built for the current will survive.
