Severed Frequency

For two hundred years, humanity has lived in the sky - floating cities where the synthetic frequency grid keeps everyone comfortable, productive, and unconscious. Below them, the Rooted survive in underground tunnels, preserving practices the coalition tried to erase.

Veda has trained with the Rooted since she was seventeen. She can feel the Earth's hum. She can read frequencies others can't perceive. She thought she was learning to survive.

She was learning to awaken.

When Veda triggers abilities that haven't manifested since the Awakening Era, she becomes the coalition's primary target. They've spent centuries ensuring no one can do what she just did. Now they'll burn the underground to stop her.

But Veda has made contact with something vast and ancient - a consciousness distributed through the planet's mycelial network, waiting for someone who could finally finish what was started two hundred years ago.

To save herself, she'll have to save everyone. Eight billion humans. One broadcast. Three minutes to change the world.

The Rooted is the first book in the Severed Frequency trilogy.
