Title: Adamantine
Author: Rosie Weir
Genre: Sci-Fi Romance
About Adamantine:
Deep in the Appalachian Mountains, a brilliant scientist and his daughter retreat from a catastrophic global plague. Worried for Molly’s future, James crafts the ultimate gift for his lonely little girl: A sentient AI charged with the task of protecting her and keeping her company in the event he is no longer able to do so. His creation, Will, is bestowed with an expansive intellect, superhuman strength, and a fierce protective streak. However, as year go by, Will’s feelings start to change from duty and service to something more.
At eighteen, Molly knows little of the world beyond a collection of grainy VHS classics. Life with Will and James is idyllic. But Will’s mission to protect involves keeping dangerous secrets, including some that could destroy the trust between them forever. Will struggles with the rigid self-discipline of his programming, versus turbulent, irrational feelings that grow stronger each day. True love can’t exist without honesty and risk; the two things Will has been programmed to control at all costs. But trouble is brewing outside their sheltered utopia, and ignorance might be a luxury neither of them can afford any longer.
From the primitive heights of the Appalachian Mountains to the revolutionary scientific breakthrough hidden within, Adamantine, a story of love, sacrifice, and sentience is scheduled to be released in June 2020.

“Were you dreaming?” the man asked incredulously as he sat down in the empty chair opposite to Will. Will recognized his voice. “You clean up nicely,” the man continued in an almost cheerful manner as if nothing occurred.
He didn’t respond and glared at him, a muscle in his jaw twitched as the anger in his eyes poured through. These people destroyed everything he had ever known and loved in a matter of minutes.
Like most humans, he thought. The man cleared his throat.
“Who made you?”
Will stared straight back. “God.”
The man seemed amused by his response.
“My name is Patrick Riordan. I work for a company called Auctus. Do you know what that is?” Will ignored him, scanning the room and trying to pick up a signal. “You won’t be able to hack your way out, I’m afraid,” said Riordan. “You know what this is, right?”
He sighed and squeezed his eyes shut. “Faraday room.”
Riordan nodded. “An advanced version of it, yes. Any and all electrical, phone, and wireless signals are completely blocked off. Nothing can come in or out.”
Will’s jaw tightened.
“You overrode the hunter’s systems and manipulated the program in record time. I’ve never seen that before.” His eyes were wide with curiosity and wonder. “How did you do it?”
Will shrugged and gave a half-smile. “Must’ve been pure charisma.”
Riordan chuckled and stared at him with admiration. “I don’t think you understand what’s happening here, friend. Last winter, a hunter brought in a proxy deer to one of our stores hoping to get it refurbished. But when one of our techs uploaded its system, your image popped up in a recording. Coincidentally the deer’s program had been infiltrated. And after seeing what you did to my proxies yesterday, it’s safe to assume you’re the cause.”
Will seemed unimpressed by the news and shrugged. “What do you want from me?”
“I want to know what you are, and who made you.” Riordan shook his head. “I’m afraid we cannot figure you out. The layer of tissue covering your metal has traces of advanced biological nanotechnology, which proxies don’t have and aren’t compatible with. You also have the most sophisticated firewall program I have ever come across. And I live and breathe AI. Who made you?”
