Hello everyone,
And just like that, we've reached the end.
I'm officially marking Threshold Protocol as complete. Thank you all so much for reading, voting, and commenting along the way. Your engagement has been a massive source of motivation while I've been juggling this project with my AI studies.
We've followed Dr. Helena Vos down a dark path, witnessing the series of moral compromises and calculated decisions that set the entire Ironblood Continuum in motion. We've seen the cost of her ambition and the ghost of her grief. Threshold Protocol was always meant to be the origin story—the cold, clinical spark that lights the fire.
And now, it's time for the inferno.
The story that began here will pick up directly in the first full novel of the series: BLAZE.
While Threshold Protocol was about the creator, BLAZE is about the creation. We will finally shift focus to the woman on the table, Nia Carter. Her journey is one of action, self-discovery, and reckoning with a power she never asked for. The questions raised in the prequel will be answered on the training fields and in the boardrooms where Nia is treated as both a weapon and a miracle.
Everything you've read—every forged log, every secret meeting, every line of code—was a stepping stone to Nia's story.
Thank you again for being the first to step into this universe. I'm already deep into writing BLAZE and can't wait to share the first chapters with you. Get ready for a major shift in tone and pace. The quiet tension of the lab is about to be replaced by the roar of the real world.
Let me know your final thoughts on Threshold Protocol in the comments! What are your theories for Nia? Who do you think will be the biggest threat?
The threshold has been crossed. Now, we watch it all burn.
