Company Town

New Arcadia: a floating metropolis of steel and smoke, built on an oil rig in the cold Atlantic and ruled by the labyrinthine empire of Lynch Ltd.
Hwa is one of the last unaugmented humans on the rig—no bio-engineered muscles, no genetic upgrades, no designer skin. Just flesh, grit, and fists. An outsider twice over, she’s carved out her place as a bodyguard, the best fighter money can buy. Which is why the Lynch family hires her to train and protect their youngest heir. But when the death threats start coming—from sources that hint at something outside of time itself—Hwa finds herself guarding against enemies she can’t even see.
Then the bodies start to fall. Murders ripple through the rig, each one tangled with Hwa’s own life, each one leading back to her. The city is already a powder keg of politics, power, and fear—but with a nearly invisible killer on the loose, New Arcadia is about to explode.
Company Town is a razor-sharp blend of noir mystery and futuristic grit, where survival is never guaranteed and danger has never been so close to home.
