SUMMARY: Time is running out for Colleen Carlyle, a young political aide blessed with extraordinary power by a rift in reality; The Fracture. In a desperate attempt to curry favor with her boss, Senator Simon Hendrix, and use his influence to protect her kind, the unbound, she all but seals their extinction. Hope remains as Colleen's father, The Shaper himself created a time machine, split into four shards each protected by veterans of a war fought between humanity and the unbound. Now, pursued by Ozzy Madson, an aged jazz musician and deadly assassin, Colleen and her boyfriend Raf must collect the shards of The Shaper's Timepiece with the hopes of undoing her catastrophic mistake. But power has its price, and the price to control fate is far steeper than Colleen bargained for. SIMILAR FEEL TO: Arcane, Twin Peaks, Succession AUDIENCE: Ages 18-45, Millennials and Gen Z who want a slow burning, emotionally charged adventure that speaks on themes of empathy, failure, generational trauma, and political power dynamics. NOT FOR: Readers who are looking for easy answers to complex problems, a beach read, action every other chapter, melodrama, despite the opening two chapters. Chapters 1 and 2 are designed to show you "what could be," and that needs to be seen first. As I will always say, I am willing to lose readers over this tonal shift. SENSITIVITY: Graphic Violence, Language, Light Surreal-Horror, Mental Health struggles and conversations. Sexuality is limited to a "Friendship/partnership relationship." rather than steamy male/female gaze, with the occasional compliment, passionate kiss and cuddle. I try to treat this subject with healthy respect. ZERO Explicit material or "taboo" subjects related to sexuality.
