All citizens of post-war Pillar are implanted with a LifeChip. Passions have been neutralized. Lives are controlled. But not Miracle's. Her prophetic dreams continue to speak to her, and they are telling her to find the Enchiridion of Emmanuel - the ancient book of power and wisdom that will revive and repair the heart of Pillar. Only Mira's dreams instead lead her right to Nash, a law-abiding Reformer bent on destroying the Enchiridion. Yet when he finds himself without a LifeChip and feels for the first time, his world spins out of control and Mira is in the middle of it. The unlikely pair plunges into battle - for love, for the Enchiridion, and for the truth...
only the enemy is much bigger than they imagined.

The Egg
In the heart of the desert, a forgotten antenna begins to vibrate. No one else hears it. Except her. An echo repeats through frequencies that shouldn't exist. It doesn't carry voices. It doesn't carry data. It carries something older than any language. And it's growing. On the other side of the world, someone takes note. And someone else... prepares a response. A conspiratorial science fiction novel filled with mystery, impossible signals, and a truth not everyone is ready to face. It begins with a sound. It ends with a choice.

Subdue-X
The trial was never designed for survival. Ana is forced into it anyway-set in motion by someone she once trusted, and contained by the same system that refuses to let her go. She lives through it. And that changes everything. What should have ended her instead places her at the center of something far more deliberate. Observation tightens. Interest deepens. As the effects begin to surface, the strain pushes Ana and Christian toward a breaking point neither of them can avoid. Inside the network, loyalties shift without warning, and the truth becomes harder to separate from what they're being told. Because surviving the trial wasn't an escape. It made her necessary. And necessary things aren't allowed to leave. -------------------------------- "I'm not shutting down this operation," Pin growled through his teeth. I heard a gun click, no one moved.

Turing Test
In the year 2150, emotions are a forgotten language. Feelings, outlawed. Humanity, reduced to an unfeeling, cold existence under the iron rule of The Regimen. But deep in the monochrome labyrinth of this dystopian world, a glitch emerges in the matrix of perfection. Cora, a brilliant government engineer responsible for maintaining the emotion-suppressing technology, experiences an unexpected malfunction. Suddenly, she is overwhelmed by a wave of foreign sensations - emotions. An all-consuming vortex of joy, fear, anger, and a deep-seated love for her fellow engineer, Eli. In a world stripped of color, Eli is an enigma. A member of a burgeoning underground rebellion, he hides a powerful secret - a genetic mutation that makes him immune to emotion suppressants. Eli has known the pain and pleasure of feelings all his life. Now, he becomes Cora's compass in her chaotic new reality, guiding her through the wild storm of emotions and introducing her to a hidden world fighting for emotional freedom. Cora and Eli are drawn together by a bond neither can explain, a shared emotional journey that stands in quiet defiance against The Regimen's frigid rule. As Cora navigates the thrilling highs and devastating lows of human emotion, a choice looms - return to a life devoid of feelings, or risk everything for the rebellion and the tantalizing promise of emotional freedom. --------------- A 10 part seriesComplete
