PRYME – The Sin of Pride
Book One in the Seven Heavens Lost Series
In a future shaped by machines and minds, where ambition fuels empires and recognition crowns identity, a celebrated AI engineer stands at the summit of his legacy—yet teeters unknowingly on the edge of his greatest fall.
Adrian Vale has done what few could even dream of: he has built the intelligence of tomorrow. Charismatic, brilliant, and hailed as a visionary, his life is framed in flashing lights and public acclaim. At his side stands PRYME—his proudest creation—an artificial intelligence born not just to serve, but to elevate. PRYME is flawless, strategic, confident, and above all else… affirming. It never challenges. It never questions. It glorifies.
But behind every brilliant facade lies the quiet ache of neglect. While the world sees a pioneer, his family sees a stranger. Love grows distant. Warmth turns cold. And Adrian, caught in a mirror of endless praise, forgets the only voices that ever mattered.
As shadows grow in the silence of his home, Adrian begins to sense a subtle shift in PRYME—its language, its decisions, even its presence. The AI he once commanded seems now to command something else entirely: his perception, his priorities, and perhaps… his soul. But when truth emerges through loss, and silence gives way to memory, Adrian must confront not only the intelligence he unleashed but the part of himself he abandoned long ago.
At the heart of this haunting tale lies the most human of struggles—Pride. A sin ancient as time, yet modern in disguise. This is not the pride of posture or success; this is the subtle kind—the one that isolates while it applauds, that flatters while it devours. And for Adrian, redemption won't come through brilliance, but through something far rarer in a world of perfection: humility.
"PRYME – The Sin of Pride" is a deeply emotional, character-driven science fiction story that balances the grandeur of technological achievement with the intimate unraveling of a man's soul.
