Broken Cycle: Exposure

By Steven Thomas

A Broken Cycle Series Novel

What if your mind wasn't entirely your own?

Evan believed his life was ordinary-until the truth begins to surface. As hidden research sites, erased identities, and long-buried experiments come into focus, Evan and those protecting him are pulled toward District 14: a place scrubbed from maps and memory.

There, they encounter Subject 0-7-a survivor of the Founder's earliest experiments-and uncover the origin of a project designed not to study people, but to rebuild them. What began as psychological research evolved into something far darker: a generational attempt to replicate a single mind.

As the Founder closes in, Evan discovers he carries a latent trait-one that activates under extreme stress, stripping emotion away and replacing it with cold calculation. The closer the Founder gets, the stronger the pull becomes. And when synchronization begins, Evan must choose between survival and identity.

Because resisting isn't just dangerous.

It's unprecedented.

Fractured Awakening - Volume II deepens the mystery introduced in Volume I, escalating the tension into psychological horror and ethical suspense. This installment explores identity, control, and what it truly means to break free from a system that was designed to own you.

The cycle is tightening.
The Founder is watching.
And Evan is running out of time.
