The Poisoned Pieces
(2027)(The third book in the Epoch Rite of Passage series)
A novel by Megan Bledsoe
A near-future dystopian thriller about the collapse of control and the triumph of human sovereignty.
The High States’ fragile illusion of control has officially shattered—not from a revolution, but from its own weight.
An unforced error sends the country into an unrecoverable tailspin. Banks stop routing money. Grocery stores close. And the centralized grid of power and water stutters to a halt.
Our ten citizens face the panic of a post-collapse world: The boy who sacrificed his bicycle is living under a bridge. The mother who survived detainment knows what’s coming when forces arrive at her door. The former DNI agent finds a strange peace in the ruins—if only he can keep it.
The world as they knew it is dead. But the one thing the old authority still controls is violence. Surviving the final stage of this nightmare will depend on how the citizens rise to answer one question:
Can you build a new world without inheriting the poison of the old?
Witness the final, gripping reclamation of sovereignty in THE POISONED PIECES, the thrilling conclusion of The Epoch Rite of Passage Trilogy—a near-future dystopian thriller for fans of 1984 who wish it had ended another way.
Genre: Literary Fiction
