Where Control Breaks
Book One of The Absence Series
She doesn't command.
She doesn't dominate.
She doesn't submit.
And that is exactly why the world wants her corrected.
Elara Voss was supposed to disappear.
Instead, she breaks something no one can see.
Rowan Hale was built to enforce control.
It has never failed.
Until her.
Around Elara, systems collapse.
Authority fractures.
Power loses its grip.
And Rowan faces something he was never designed for—
Someone he cannot control.
Someone he cannot predict.
Someone he might choose.
Because Elara isn't a weapon.
She's an absence.
And once control breaks—
Nothing stays contained.
