Two years ago, Carmen Peyri reigned champion in Stellar Black, an underground trading ring and arena. Then one night, one mistake broke her, and she vanished.
Now her dog, Tai, is dying—his Time Limit, his lifespan, slashed from eighty years to ten days.
Rebuffed by the police, Carmen returns to the world she swore off, teaming up with Hesu, Stellar Black’s kingpin, and his enforcer, Beastly, to find out who did this.
But the deeper they dig, the darker the truth becomes. Lies run deep. No one’s clean. And time is running out.
DEAD LINE hurtles toward a violent climax in this intense cyberpunk thriller. Carmen has ten days... and no second chances.

BOOK PRAISE
A Cyberpunk Thriller That Hits Like a Roundhouse Kick!
DEAD LINE is a visceral debut that grabs you by the throat and doesn't let go. Mira Wendam has crafted a cyberpunk world that feels lived-in and grimy. The core emotional thread about Tai is effective. The protagonist, Carmen, is raw and complicated in the best way, aggressive, violent, and morally grey. Watching her navigate a plot that spirals into something far bigger than she anticipated kept me hooked. The world-building feels oppressively real. The action sequences are super well written—crisp, technical, and brutal. You can feel every elbow strike and knife wound. Wendam clearly did her research, and it shows.
If you like your cyberpunk with a healthy dose of underground MMA, this is your book.

DARK, DIRTY, AND IMPOSSIBLE TO PUT DOWN!
From the moment I met Carmen, she felt like a teenager made entirely of intrusive thoughts. Her HAPD condition was compelling and drove the story. She was resilient, fierce, and unforgettable. The other characters felt just as real. The pacing was definitely fast, and it worked. Carmen was out there breaking necks, teeth, every body part. But nothing felt rushed. Every moment mattered. The world-building was incredible. Inhon felt like a real, broken place where beauty still existed in the pain. Real friendships. Real meaning. The ending was satisfying. We don’t know everything, but we know she survived and started healing. She’s not the same girl we met. She’s not pure. Her hands are bloody. But she’s happy. Maybe DEAD LINE taught me what love really is, and how far we’ll go for the people we care about. I’ll never forget Carmen or the others.
