Speculative Fiction. Dystopian. Found Family. Sci-Fi Elements. 

In a world full of chaos, Georgia Boone has survived alone on grit, determination, and her secluded family farm in the Appalachian Mountains. Bloodmouths—relentless, zombie-like creatures—roam the wilderness, and trust is as scarce as an ally. Georgia prefers her secluded life on the farm with the occasional trip into town with her best friend, Noah, until a mudslide changes everything.

Swept away and presumed dead, she awakens in a sterile, mechanical pod with an unbelievable revelation. Everything she grew to know in life was never real. It’s all part of a simulated experiment designed to test human resilience and limits in a long-since destroyed world, or at least that’s what she is told.

Now, Georgia must navigate the shocking truth, rally a ragtag resistance group consisting of Knox, the awkward sunshine, Cal, the sarcastic backwoods protector, and Juno, Cal’s herbalist younger sister, to confront the people controlling their fabricated nightmare. As enemies close in and memories begin to resurface, Georgia must navigate what’s real and how to break free. 

Packed with pulse-pounding action, shocking twists, and a relatable group of characters, Untethered is a survival journey about pushing your limits and the fight for what it means to truly live.
