The Dragonfly Code: Starline Protocol

Book One of the Dragonfly Code Saga

In the heart of Chicago, a boy is breaking.

Nymphis Drake doesn’t want to be a hero—he just wants the pain to stop. Haunted by courtroom silence, a father who vanished without goodbye, and a city that never slows down, Nymphis is barely holding it together. Until the dragonfly finds him.

Marked by ancient glyphs and awakened by a living swarm of light, Nymphis begins to unravel a power hidden deep in his bloodline—one tied to emotion, memory, and something older than Earth itself. But every light has its shadow. And when a swarm of corrupted emotions begins flooding the city, Nymphis must learn not just how to fight… but how to feel.

With the help of Mira Jade, an empathic girl drawn to him by spirit alone, and Geeru, his sarcasm-laced AI companion, Nymphis must uncover the truth of the swarm and confront the wounds he’s been running from his entire life.

Raw. Reflective. Spiritually charged.

The Dragonfly Code is a genre-bending saga of mental health, Black resilience, ancestral memory, and what it means to be chosen—when all you wanted was to survive.

For readers of character-driven sci-fi/fantasy, emotional coming-of-age stories, and mythic modern legends set in real cities with real heart.
