The Tether Protocol

Even if the chains fall away, the tethers still hold.

BLURB

I escaped the hangar. Left behind the experiments, the restraints – and the man who rewired my body with every touch. Now I hide in the city’s underbelly, bartering code for survival and secrets. I’m building something. A way out. I know he's here. He remembers everything I felt. Everything I begged for. And he’s not just watching anymore. The Sovereign wants to erase me. He wants to own me. And I? I'll set the fire myself.

★★★★★

"This one completely pulled me in. Even though it’s the second book, it can easily be read as a standalone and that’s because the author does a great job setting up the world and the characters." —Laura (Goodreads)
