The Code
In a near-future America fractured by caste and control, a low-caste teen assumes her dead best friend’s identity to escape capture. But when she’s forced into a brutal Guard training academy, she uncovers a conspiracy that could expose the regime’s darkest secrets—if it doesn’t silence her first.
The Code is a story about identity, sacrifice, and the courage it takes to resist systems designed to silence you. It is the first in a planned series and will resonate with readers hungry for thrilling, character-driven stories with a pulse on today’s sociopolitical climate.
