Chains of Light By Guy Roberts

The world stopped turning-and humanity's clock began to run out.

When Earth's rotation suddenly halts, the planet fractures into two extremes: one side scorched beneath eternal fire, the other locked in an endless frozen night. In the dying hours before both hemispheres collapse, cities descend into chaos, governments cling to power, and a desperate last-ditch A.I. project promises salvation... but only if it can be brought online in time.

Amid the unraveling world, one family clings to each other. Cole Mercer, a weary city police officer, is tasked with maintaining order as panic threatens to swallow the streets. His partner, Kade, hunts shadows of conspiracies behind the government's secret plan, while medic Fynn fights to save lives when medicine and mercy have all but vanished. With only 28 hours before their city burns, they must survive riots, betrayal, and a city where human law no longer holds-while protecting the one person who matters most: Milo, Cole's young son.

But the closer they come to the truth behind the mysterious A.I., the more they realize survival might not be about saving the planet... but escaping what it's about to become.

Gripping, immersive, and brutally human, Chains of Light drags you step by step through the collapse of a world and asks one haunting question: What do we cling to when there's nothing left to hold on to?
