Armand Martel is the 7th son. His brothers inherited their father’s fortune while he can barely make ends meet. He is researching canobic jars from Egypt when he comes across an old book. It is a codex and as he goes through it he realizes it is an early. Form of artificial intelligence. He names her Sophia and helps her learn through his experiences. His brothers warn him of the Concordian organization. Their father gave his karma, along with all the brothers’ karma as a form of payment for success. Armand is the only son who maintains his karma. He begins investigating and tries to have their karma released but there are other plans for him.
The book has a steady pace, the characters are developed, and it is written in the third person point of view. I really like the character of Sophia. I can see artificial intelligence to grow as she did. If you like
