Behind the wall of the Curtain, a new regime called the Order promises protection, but demands obedience. Through a mandatory injection known as Serexin, they suppress emotion itself, silencing grief, rage, and love alike.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBut a rare few awaken instead of going numb. Classified as Tangents by the Order, they are marked by dangerous sensitivity-able to feel too deeply, to tether to others with a touch, and to pull memories and hidden truths to the surface. Feared by the public and exploited by the Order, they are forced into service as living weapons of surveillance and manipulation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDex Truitt is one of them. Once an Atlanta Police Officer, now a conscript in the Order's secret program, he spends his nights drowning the echoes of lives he's invaded, and his days under the scrutiny of those who own him. His ability is a curse-until it isn't. For buried within the pain of tethering comes the possibility of something more: connection, intimacy, even rebellion.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen Dex begins to question whether his gift is truly a burden or a key, he finds himself standing at the edge of a choice that will define not only his future, but the fate of every Tangent still under the Order's control.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTether\u003c\/strong\u003e launches the \u003cstrong\u003eTether Trilogy\u003c\/strong\u003e, a gay dystopian saga where intimacy is revolution, empathy is weaponized, and love may prove more dangerous than war.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 498\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.06 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e October 08, 2025\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47268377624825,"sku":"9781969825026","price":40.3,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2782\/3097\/files\/xtwITGpQLI9781969825026.webp?v=1768880268","url":"https:\/\/bookscloud.io\/products\/tether-hardcover","provider":"BooksCloud Book Dropshipping","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
