Broken Lands

Far out in the desert, the fortified city of Natica survives by drawing water from hidden underground pools. Its people believe their future depends on maintaining Miot-an ancient machine said to be the only hope for ending the catastrophe known as the Broken.

General Titus Foster has spent his life defending Natica from the dangers beyond its walls: brutal storms, strange machines buried in the sand, and the Banished-those exiled into the wasteland. But when unexplained tremors shake the desert and dormant technology begins to wake, Titus is forced to confront the terrifying possibility that the Broken isn't finished with them yet.

Elsewhere, beneath a vast black dome, Kayden Kell wakes up in the city of Luminosity with no memory of who she is or how she got there. The city is peaceful, orderly-and profoundly wrong. Every night at midnight, something resets. Memories vanish. Questions disappear. And no one seems willing to ask why.

As Titus races to prevent Natica's collapse and Kayden uncovers the truth behind Luminosity's fragile reality, their stories begin to converge-revealing a secret that binds their worlds together and reframes everything humanity believes about the Broken.

Broken Lands is the first book in the Broken Nature Trilogy, a mystery-driven science fiction epic about impossible cities, hidden histories, and the dangerous cost of forgetting the truth.
