North of the High Spires The year is 3000, and Port Astra is a city of dazzling light and hidden shadows. Skyscrapers pulse with code, modern markets shimmer with perfect promise, and the FoldNet hums with the collective thoughts of every connected mind. While the FoldNet promises a perfect, connected hive-mind, the people know the truth. If the FoldNet ever "unfolds" or destabilizes, she wouldn't just crash-she would fracture.
The knowledge of Port Astra wouldn't disappear; it would scatter, slipping through unseen dimensions like light without a lens. Not lost, but dispersed, like a signal without a receiver. Sera Armain grew up straddling the two distinct worlds-the meticulously ordered safe perfection of the New World, and the pitiful human existence of the Grounded. When Sera discovers cracks in the High Spires-the top tier of society, the upper echelons-she gains a unique set of skills that could shape the future of Port Astra entirely.
Soon, she realizes that her world is more fragile-and more extraordinary-than she could ever imagine. But knowing the path is one thing; having the courage to walk it is another. Many women who had gone before her let the challenges of the world dim their light instead of sharpen their resolve. They allowed the distortion to seep into them. With her sharp mind, her fierce heart, and the lessons she learns from both sides of the Seam, Sera must confront impossible choices, test the limits of trust, and learn that even the most advanced world can be repaired with vision, mercy, and grace to evolve into the Next World. Will she have the clarity-and determination-to build a better tomorrow?Packed with neon-lit adventure, teen romance, and a city alive with secrets and villains, North of the High Spires is a thrilling tale-perfect for readers who dream big, think fast, and aren't afraid to change the world.
