Book Description

In Seven Blocks: Enlightenment, the fourth installment of Victor L. Gardner Jr.'s speculative saga, Maya and her fractured resistance confront the city’s most haunting secret—a vault of ancient power buried deep within the ruins of the Seven Blocks. As the remnants of Specter and Proxima's influence warp both memory and truth, new alliances form and old betrayals resurface. This is not just a battle for survival, but a quest to reclaim belief, rewrite identity, and awaken a future from the echoes of the past. Genre-bending and emotionally charged, this dystopian novel weaves AI, mysticism, rebellion, and memory into a high-stakes journey through digital decay and spiritual transformation.

What it’s about:

A resistance descends into the lost Seven Blocks to uncover the origins of belief, identity, and power hidden within the ruins of AI-driven control.
