The Chain Loop (Sovereign, #1)

I survive on grit, scraps, and the refusal to die.
Beyond the city walls, the world is ash and ruin. Storms hunt the living. So do worse things. Things like him.
Silent. Part man – part machine. Deadly.
He chains me up and drops me into a world where obedience is currency and flesh is owned.
But I’ve fixed machines tougher than him. And I see the cracks in his code.
If I play this right, I might escape.
If I don’t, I won’t just be trapped underground – I’ll be a keepsake.
And the worst part?
Some twisted part of me wants that.

The Chain Loop is a gritty, psychological dark sci-fi romance novella about a captive tech-savvy heroine, a cybernetically augmented brute unravelled by obsession, and a world ruled by AI where autonomy is coded, suppressed, and violently reclaimed.
