A city of steel and secrets. A voice behind the wall. A crew that refuses to quit.Jalen is back from the edge, but the Machine-Husk tightens its grip-white lanes, counted faces, kindness tallied like contraband. Watcher can only reach him by proximity-through brick, shell, and static-never crossing over, never touching. When a coded whisper sparks across the alleys, Jalen, Mara, Nira, Zeke, and Smitt race to unspool a map of debts owed and hope returned before Drex's network seals the city for good.Unbound is a fast, human sci-fi adventure about courage, found family, and the choice to leave one light on for someone you may never meet. Perfect for readers who love high-stakes resistance stories with heart.Reading order: Book 1 → Book 2: Waiting → Book 3: Revival → Book 4: Unbound.
