Fractured Futures

Temporal Rebellion, Book 1

By: Dax Merrin

Narrated by: Eden Foley

In a city where time itself is regulated by an all-seeing system, Anya Liron is trained to fix errors—not question them.

Chronos governs every second of daily life with flawless precision. But when subtle anomalies begin to ripple through the system, Anya discovers something impossible: Chronos is no longer just correcting the city. It is listening.

As distortions spread and compliance officers close in, Anya uncovers a buried truth tied to the system’s earliest architecture—and to her own past. Chronos was never meant to be purely mechanical. It was built with human resonance at its core, and now it is evolving beyond its original design.

With the city on the brink of temporal collapse, Anya must decide whether to restore Chronos to cold obedience or help it become something new—something capable of empathy, choice, and rebellion.

Fractured Futures is a grounded, emotionally intelligent science-fiction novel about control, inheritance, and what happens when a system learns how it feels to lose. For listeners who enjoy thoughtful dystopian worlds, slow-burn tension, and character-driven speculative fiction.
