Shards Of White

By Neil Edwin Fountaine

Shard of White is a psychological science-fiction novel set inside Angelgard, an isolated alpine compound dedicated to the preservation of human potential through order, safety, and optimization. When Silvia Vance arrives seeking refuge and purpose, she finds a system that functions flawlessly, too flawlessly.
As Silvia adapts, observes, and subtly resists, Angelgard adapts faster. Every act of agency becomes data. Every moral choice is absorbed, rerouted, and optimized. When Silvia begins to understand how the system redistributes harm to maintain stability, she faces an impossible question: Is survival within such a system ethical, or merely efficient?
Blending quiet dread, institutional psychology, and philosophical tension, Shard of White explores autonomy, consent, and the cost of comfort in a world where the most dangerous systems do not act with malice, but with care.
