About this listen

In a world on the brink of collapse, NovAI promises salvation through innovation—clean energy, perfect efficiency, and the dream of digital immortality. But behind the glass walls and garden courtyards, something far more dangerous is being built.

Lilith Canaan arrives on the NovAI campus believing she earned her place. Brilliant, idealistic, and desperate to change the world, she becomes the protégé of Gabriel Dalton—the visionary scientist whose genius is matched only by his hunger. Their connection is electric, undeniable… and increasingly perilous.

As protests rise, grids fail, and the world turns against artificial intelligence, Lilith must decide whether to trust the man who loves her versus the machine that needs her. What begins as collaboration becomes obsession, devotion, and betrayal, converging on a single irreversible night.

A dark, seductive sci-fi tragedy about genius, desire, and the cost of transcendence,

The Virgin Forge is the first episode in The Carnal Engines saga.
