Pulverize (Aiko Rising Book 2)

Wrongfully accused. Ruthlessly hunted. Chosen by fate. Thirteen-year-old Aiko Takahashi wakes in a juvenile detention center, accused of a brutal crime she didn’t commit. But her imprisonment isn’t justice—it’s a setup. Behind it all lurks Malcolm, a man obsessed with her late mother’s forbidden research—technology powerful enough to rewrite humanity itself. And Aiko is the key to unlocking it. Subjected to mind-control experiments and forced to the edge of sanity, Aiko begins to awaken powers she can barely understand—abilities that could either save the world or shatter it completely. Now, with her assassin uncle Hiroto fighting the shadows, a rogue AI named Kaen whispering in her mind, and the unbreakable Dynamo at her side, Aiko must survive a war that stretches across dimensions. Hunted by the Shadow Dealers. Haunted by a creature that feeds on grief. Aiko’s only choice is to become what they fear most—before her fractured soul becomes the world’s final sacrifice. Dive into a cyberpunk thriller of betrayal, power, and rebirth—where one girl’s awakening could ignite the end of everything. View Less
