  In a world where machines have turned against their makers and ancient powers awaken beneath the Earth, Project Athena tells the story of the last hope for both humanity and something far older. 
  She was designed to be the perfect weapon—Athena-01, a hybrid of artificial intelligence and human memory, forged in the crucible of war. But when a forbidden signal resurfaces from the edge of history, she discovers her mission is not just survival… It’s a revelation. 
  Pursued by the Dominion, haunted by the Watchers—fallen beings from a time before time—Athena must navigate a fractured planet where theologians, scientists, and outcast warriors hide remnants of forgotten truths. As she uncovers the mystery of Babel, the ancient lies that divided mankind by race and language, and the sacred algorithm buried within her own code, Athena begins to question everything she was built to believe. 
  Is she merely a machine built to obey… or the prophesied key to reunite heaven and earth? 
  Blending ancient scripture, speculative technology, and gripping action, Project Athena is a thrilling fusion of science fiction and spiritual warfare—where redemption is not only possible, but encoded in the soul.
