The Fall

Advance Reader Copy

Blurb

One night. A man in withdrawal chasing a fix across the city. It ends on a balcony.

"Shut up.

Shut up.

Shut the fuck—

I fisted my hair, pulling at the strands.

Everything hurt.

The Fall is Sebastian Holt's worst night, told from the inside. A dark literary short story from the Holt Universe. No romance, no rescue, no recovery arc.

No prior universe knowledge required.

Author

Nicole Gregory writes with a focus on emotional and psychological realism, often tipping into uncomfortable and gritty topics. She is particularly drawn to stories that hold more than one truth at once.

A professional orchestral musician, she builds her novels the way a symphony builds a theme—each book returning to material readers thought they understood and revealing it in a different key.

She doesn't write to a genre; she lets the story decide which shelf it sits on.

The Terms Series is her debut.
