What if your city was being quietly unmade — and no one could remember it happening?

THE NULL PROTOCOL is a cinematic serial thriller set in Verath — a megacity of eight million people sitting on a secret that predates civilization itself.

Kael Maren is a city analyst who notices things others don't. Patterns. Repetitions. A flock of pigeons that hasn't moved in 211 days. Data that gets deleted every morning before anyone can read it. And a three-second silence that swallows 400,000 people — and erases itself from their memories the moment it ends.

When a woman with no past and a compass that doesn't point north sits across from him, everything he thought he understood about Verath begins to collapse.

Part One — The Hollow City introduces:

• Kael, Sova, Mira, Director Harren, and a force beneath the city older than history

• A conspiracy that isn't about control — it's about consent

• A mystery that ends with a message written in Kael's own handwriting... that he has no memory of writing
