The Null Choir
In the haunted underworld of Crossfall Sprawl, memory is currency, and ghosts don’t just linger—they hunt.
Once a master decker in the digital shadows, Milo Gant is now a broken man scraping by in the ruins of a city overrun by predatory corporations, fractured AIs, and the glitching remnants of the dead. A neural implant fused to his skull—once his greatest asset—now barely keeps up with the ghosts of his past. But when a mysterious hybrid courier hands him a chip containing a fragment of Tamsin, the woman he loved and lost in a heist gone wrong, Milo is dragged back into the stream he swore he’d never touch again.
The chip pulses with her voice. Her memories. Maybe more.
As Milo tries to unlock the truth behind the fragment, he finds himself hunted by CorpSpire's ICE-hunters, drawn into conspiracies buried deep in the AR-scars of the Sprawl, and shadowed by the whispered legends of the Null Choir—a rogue collective of post-human entities said to preserve the lost and the dead within the Grid’s deepest layers.
With the help of Reza, a feline hybrid with a past as opaque as his movements, Milo must navigate memory bazaars, outlaw tech markets, and collapsing sectors of reality itself to find out if Tamsin’s ghost is a weapon, a warning, or a second chance. But the deeper he digs, the more the line blurs between remembrance and resurrection, between self and simulation.
The Sprawl never forgets. And neither do its ghosts.
Set in the expansive, neon-drenched Blackwire Universe, The Null Choir is a cyberpunk ghost story about love, guilt, and the desperate need to be remembered in a world that erases everything. From the neon-lit gutters of a dying city to the corrupted dreamscapes of the Grid, this story blends noir atmosphere with speculative terror to ask one haunting
What if your memories could come back—and want something from you?
Fans of Blade Runner, Altered Carbon, Neuromancer, and William Gibson will feel right at home—and far from safe.
