The Calculus of Touch

By Dalor Thorne

In a future where physical presence is a crime of class, a lonely heiress risks everything for a forbidden love. Annabel lives in a sanitized world of instant teleportation and suppressed emotion, but her anxiesty-riddled life is a gilded cage. Handem, a resilient laborer known as a Grounded, knows the brutal truth of the physical world. When their two worlds collide in a moment of illegal proximity, a single shared touch sets off a chain of events that exposes the system's biggest lie. As Handem is captured and exiled, Annabel must use her insider knowledge to fight back, transforming from a pampered heiress into a political weapon. She must use her family's own corrupt laws against them, embarking on a dangerous journey to save the man she loves and ignite a quiet revolution that will force a divided world to finally start walking.
