The Tether Protocol: A Psychological, Sci-Fi, Dark Romance Novella

By N. von Wolf

I escaped the hangar.
Left behind the experiments, the restraints - and the man who rewired my body with every touch.
Now I hide in the city's underbelly, bartering code for survival and secrets.
I'm building something. A way out.
I know he's here. He remembers everything I felt. Everything I begged for.
And he's not just watching anymore.
The Sovereign wants to erase me.
He wants to own me.
And I?
I'll set the fire myself.

The Tether Protocol is a gritty, psychological dark sci-fi romance about a tech-savvy heroine, a cybernetically augmented brute unravelled by obsession, and a world ruled by AI where autonomy is coded, suppressed, and violently reclaimed.
