Shattered:
The Rise of Julia

A FREE novella
now available!

We've been led to believe that the UPT emerged from ecological and political chaos, guided by noble scientists. But are we getting the full story?

Years ago, during a crisis, Julia Ryker, then Power Director of the Bannock Zone, offered crucial solutions. However, as Grand Governor, decisions have come at the cost of diminishing choices for UPT citizens.

While the government hails her as a visionary, the Underground labels her a thief of free will.

Read the propaganda, memos, files, and footage they tried to erase. Then decide what kind of future you’re willing to live in.

And get ready for Merged, the second book in the Forged series, coming in late summer 2026!

Spoiler Warning: Do not access until after reading Shattered.
