In the age of algorithms and artifice, what’s more dangerous, losing control of your image, or falling in love with it?

Mia Klein has built an empire from desire. Online, she’s an icon: glossy, unattainable, always in control. Her OnlyFans is part erotic performance, part psychological theater, a digital cathedral where men pay to worship her. Off-camera, she’s more calculating than coy, with secrets buried deep beneath the red lights and filters. But when a perfect replica of Mia begins posting in her place, performing new content, seducing her fans with an eerie exactness, and crossing lines Mia swore she never would, everything unravels.

She didn’t upload it.
She didn’t authorize it.
And now… she doesn’t know who she is without it.

Across the city, Riley Scott is spiraling. A disgraced journalist chasing what could be his last real story, he’s pulled into Mia’s glittering orbit after her sudden disappearance. What begins as a missing-person investigation becomes something far more surreal, a descent into a digital underworld of AI clones, stolen bodies, encrypted paywalls, and erotic power plays.

As Riley unearths layer after layer of deception, he finds himself drawn into the persona Mia left behind. But the deeper he digs, the more it becomes clear: Mia didn’t just vanish. She orchestrated something. Something big. Something dangerous. And someone, or something, is still watching.

Told in razor-sharp alternating POVs, Mia’s intimate, visceral narration and Riley’s tense, unraveling investigation, The Identity Game is a psychological thriller laced with glamour, obsession, and tech-fueled paranoia. From influencer mansions to darknet confessionals, from OnlyFans feeds to AI-generated seduction, this is a novel about control, desire, and the terrifying cost of going viral.

Because when everyone’s watching, and no one knows who you really are… how do you win the game of being seen?
