The Disc Chronicles

Wren was created to save the world. Now they want to turn her into the weapon that destroys it.

In the scorched wasteland 250 years after The Fall, Wren and her sister Survivor are outliers barely clinging to life. Starving in desert caves, hunted by Marauders, they know one truth: trust no one.

When Survivor’s violence lands them both in The Disc, the most formidable walled city in the region, Wren enters a world of luxury, political intrigue, and devastating secrets.

The biggest secret of all? Her DNA holds lost technology that could change what’s left of the world—or destroy it.

When power is the difference between survival and extinction, Wren must decide: Will she be humanity’s carrier of hope, or the weapon that ends civilization’s second chance?

Replicate is a collection of short stories featuring the main characters of the series ten years before the events of First Carrier and can be read at any time. You can get Replicate for free.
