Book Three - The Survivors: Ash and Purpose

They were built to endure anything.
No one taught them how to forgive.

After the fall of the facility, Noah Briggs and his siblings lead a fragile commune of survivors in the southern ruins - a labyrinth of tunnels carved beneath a city of fire and ash. Trained to obey and survive, they now face a new test: what to do with freedom.

When raiders attack and old enemies resurface, Noah must decide whether leadership means control or compassion.
Claire, the medic who once swore never to heal another handler, discovers one of the wounded is the man who experimented on her.
And Micah, haunted by faith and signal dreams, finds the Helix alive beneath their feet - calling to them like something that remembers.

Ash and Purpose continues The Control Series, exploring trauma, redemption, and the strength it takes to rebuild a world without cages.
