BENEATH THE BONES of the city, a new heartbeat is rising.
Dex Truitt is free from The Order’s tether, but the ghosts of its control still haunt him. Deep underground, with the rebellion known as Chaos, he discovers connection raw enough to burn—touch that unites, empathy that transforms, and love that lingers under the surface.
Even with limited space and dwindling supplies, Chaos refuses to turn anyone away. They open their tunnels to the numbed and the awakened alike—risking exposure to give humanity back its pulse. Every rescued soul is another spark in the growing fire of resistance.
When Dex and Malik breach HALCION, they install CASPER into the network that once enslaved Tangents—freeing those The Order would rather see erased and forging unexpected alliances along the way. But freedom has its cost: The Order is closing in, and the hidden city beneath Atlanta is no longer safe.
Now, Chaos must fight its way beyond the Curtain and into the open world, where the promise of true freedom—and the scientists who might restore empathy itself—awaits.
Sever continues The Tether Trilogy, a dark, sensual story of rebellion and resilience—where the human heart becomes both the weapon and the revolution.
