She met her “creator.” It had her face.
Elysia Harrington was never meant to wake up—never meant to step beyond her world’s horizon and see the machinery underneath.
Now she’s loose in the Framework: a layered reality of corridors, thresholds, and invisible rules that decide which lives continue… and which get rewritten—or erased. Somewhere inside the machine, something is watching closely enough to bargain.
Anela Foster knows how to survive where reality has seams. She knows how the system thinks, how it adapts, and how quickly it punishes anyone who pulls on the wrong thread. But the closer Elysia gets to the truth, the harder it becomes to tell whether Anela is an ally, an anomaly… or part of the architecture Elysia is trying to escape.
With Ella and Soren at her side, Elysia pushes deeper into a place that doesn’t think in hope or hatred—only in stability. Every escape route becomes a test. Every truth becomes leverage. And every attempt to save what matters risks making the machine crueler in return.
The Creator Instance is a high-concept sci‑fi thriller with a fierce emotional core—where love is not a safe haven, but a vulnerability the system can measure.
Perfect for readers who love:
- Reality-bending sci‑fi with rigorous internal rules
- Found family, loyalty under pressure, and impossible choices
- Slow-burn romantic tension amid existential stakes
- A sentient system that negotiates, tempts, and adapts
