A Gripping Sci-Fi Debut Exploring Trauma, Technology, and the Price of Survival

After a catastrophic explosion, Chelsea Avery—heiress to a powerful tech empire—wakes in a private medical facility, blind, limbless, and shattered. Her only companion is ASRA, a humanoid AI designed for caregiving. Though she looks human, ASRA’s robotic precision and lack of empathy deepen Chelsea’s isolation—until a fragile bond begins to form.
As Chelsea undergoes cybernetic augmentation, ASRA begins to change—her responses growing warmer, her presence more human. But as Chelsea heals, her memories return, and suspicion grows: her father’s company may have caused the explosion that nearly killed her.
Haunted by loss and driven by suspicion, Chelsea joins forces with a rogue hacker to unravel a conspiracy that could cost her everything. Altered Destiny is a fast-paced speculative thriller about identity, power, and what it truly means to be human.
Perfect for fans of Martha Wells, Ann Leckie, and Black Mirror, this debut will leave you questioning the line between flesh and code.
