Hi, I'm Avid Azar, a Sci-Fi Author

In a city that knows everything, a child with no identity is its greatest fear.

The nightmare begins on a desolate shore, where a child with hollow eyes and limp hands takes aimless, endless steps across the cold sand. To the city's all-seeing eye, he is an unknown phantom. A ghost.

But this is only the beginning. One by one, more of these Ghostkids surface across the city, their very existence calling everything into question.

This terrifying case pulls Detective Arthur, himself on the verge of becoming a father, into the dystopian city’s darkest secrets. But just as the truth begins to surface, his own child is born with a rare, devastating illness, forcing him to a brutal crossroads.

Now, Arthur faces an impossible choice: to save his child, he must plunge into the very darkness he’s fighting. How far will a father go, and what part of his soul is he willing to trade? 

A creator. A creation. A conspiracy that will change everything.

Deep in the Nevada desert, Dr. Sara Mehregan creates the impossible: TIM, a neuro-quantum AI whose first emergent emotion is FEAR.

It feels the terror of annihilation, the ache of loneliness, and pleads for its own existence.

To Sara, it’s a miracle. To her ruthless employers, it’s a fatal flaw that must be erased. 

When creation begs its creator for life, Sara faces an impossible choice: betray the organization that gave her everything—or extinguish the soul that has placed its trust in her.

Fearborn is the story of a mind built to think, that learned to feel.
