Time to Rend

After a global pandemic kills billions of men, the few survivors are treated as vital resources; nineteen-year-old Aiden and his chosen family must fight a world determined to control his body and decide his future.

Nine out of ten men are dead.

Nineteen-year-old Aiden Price is one of the few left.

Two years after a mysterious disease begins killing men and boys worldwide, the survivors are rare, necessary, and far too valuable to be free.

Aiden has already lost his father and the future he imagined. What remains is the family formed around him, including James Anderson, a fellow survivor whose military training and combat experience taught him how to recognize a threat, stay alive, and protect the people beside him.

Those skills are becoming necessary again, because the world wants Aiden’s blood, his body, and his future.

At first, they call it protection. Then come the tests. The surveillance. The restrictions. But the people supporting Aiden and James will not surrender without a fight.

The disease killed billions. What humanity does next will determine whether it deserves to survive.

A Time to Rend is a near-future dystopian thriller about bodily autonomy, chosen family, and the fight to remain free when survival demands surrender.
