The Empath Thief: Cyberpunk Science Fiction – Dystopian Thriller – Sci-Fi Romance

This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice.

In the neon-drenched underworld of a collapsing megacity, emotions are currency—and Evelyn Cross is dangerously rich.

Born with a rare and devastating empathic ability, Evelyn can feel every lie, every fear, and every hidden desire around her. To survive the chaos of the Neon Slums, she hides behind lead-lined gloves and noise-canceling headphones, stealing emotional echoes for desperate clients. But when a data heist goes wrong, she’s captured by the Sovereign Syndicate—the ruthless corporate empire controlling the city from the towering heights of the Sovereign Spire.

Their offer is simple: work for them, or lose her brother forever.

Forced into a deadly alliance with Roman Volkov, the Syndicate’s infamous “Icebreaker,” Evelyn enters a world of cybernetic conspiracies, neural warfare, and political betrayal. Roman has sacrificed his emotions through an experimental procedure that turned him into the perfect interrogator—cold, logical, and terrifyingly unreadable. But when a forbidden Neural Bridge links their minds, Evelyn becomes the one thing capable of breaking through his engineered silence.

As corruption spreads through the Syndicate and a hidden strategist prepares to unleash a catastrophic Neural Purge across the city, Evelyn and Roman uncover a conspiracy buried beneath decades of lies and human experimentation.

Now, the empath who feels too much and the man who feels nothing must decide whether truth is worth destroying the world that created them.

Perfect for fans of cyberpunk romance, dystopian thrillers, emotional sci-fi, futuristic conspiracy novels, and dark character-driven science fiction.
