Scion by Ash Storm

Feminist Thriller

Scion

Every founding myth needs a monster. Scion Tech chose her. Three years ago, Wren was erased from the company she helped build. Not with violence. With paperwork—and a story repeated until it hardened into fact. Now she's the name new hires are warned about. Too ambitious. Too difficult. Too much. What the story leaves out: she never stopped watching. She works alone. In silence. Dismantling the same machine that tore her career apart, one founder at a time—because the one time she let herself be seen, it nearly destroyed her. She has a single rule: Never surface until it's too late. Now, something is stirring inside Scion again. A new name is quietly being prepared to vanish. And finding Wren before she finds them may be the only thing standing between Scion and the monster it made.
