Pale Privileges, Dark Roast
Privilege makes survival easy—until doing what’s right means watching your world fall apart. Cody Harris is about to learn that difference.
At twenty-four, Cody isn’t trying to be heroic—just stable. After exposing fraud in his family’s business, he walked away with his conscience intact and his future wrecked. Now he’s broke, desperate, and takes the only job he can get: Candela, a direct-selling company that promises empowerment while demanding silence and loyalty in return.
To fix his finances, Cody signs a two-year contract tied to a generous bonus—and a crushing penalty if he quits. What seemed like a lifeline becomes a leash, and Candela’s “family values” begin closing in.
The company rewards his quiet compliance, pushing him into choices that hurt the very people he wants to protect.
Three women force him to reckon with the truth he’s been avoiding:
Anne: sharp and driven—the only colleague he can really trust.
Maree: his fiancée, whose calm presence reveals what his silence is costing them both.
Octavia: unflinching and incisive, refuses to let him look away.
Cody’s not clueless. He’s already made hard choices. But survival has a price, and the deeper he gets, the more he starts to wonder if staying silent is really the same as staying safe.
Wry, tense, and uncomfortably honest, Pale Privileges, Dark Roast explores the cost of comfort and the slow, painful process of waking up to the harm we’d rather not see.

The Bond That Ends Us
In the ruins left by the Dark Wave—a food-borne pandemic that shattered civilization and unleashed monstrous threats—Madison survives on cynicism, still haunted by the loss of her older brother. Her only anchor is Jerrica, a razor-smart fighter with a carbon-fiber cane and an unshakable belief that love still matters.
Now in their 18th and final year of survival school, where kids train in weapons, defense, and disaster response from age four, they’re preparing for the state's final assignment: a job, a destination, a life. For Madison, it’s just something to finish—one more box to check before whatever comes next.
Then Madison sees Jerrica die—in a vivid, unexplainable vision. The glimpse of loss cuts through her apathy and draws her to the Church of Enoch, a cult-like order obsessed with prophecy, ancient Watchers, and gifted seers. There, Madison uncovers a terrifying possibility: her vision was not a warning—it was fate.
To save Jerrica, Madison must unravel the legacy of a Sage who once predicted the end of the world and face truths that turn her bond with Jerrica into both a weapon and a target. As cities haunted by cainers fall and betrayal stalks them from within, Madison faces a brutal choice: defy the prophecy... or become the reason it comes true.
The Bond That Ends Us is a post-apocalyptic thriller about chosen bonds, impossible odds, and the hope we find in each other when the world gives us every reason to give up.
