Enter the brutal techno-mystic world of KNOXX from debut author J. Young El

Scanning that glitching QR code was your first fatal mistake—but your naive seventeen-year-old self couldn’t possibly comprehend the risks of Tethering — not until it’s too late…

Now The Archivist, a mysterious digital phantom, baits you into KNOXX 101—a mind-expanding training course set in a questionable future where your soul soars between bodies, objects, space and time —

Every moment brings mind-bending discoveries: Catastrophic prophecies barreling toward the present. Faceless beings called An’jels whose majestic alien presence defies logic. The mystic Seventh Order guarding reality-bending secrets—and you’re trapped in the crossfire of this looming future —

A future where “your first death” is just your unraveling beginning.

The stakes explode beyond imagination as the shattered future hurls closer towards you. And the crushing weight of an unthinkable choice grows heavier with each tether: survive The Archivist’s brutal KNOXX 101 course for a cure or die trying to escape before the pain destroys you completely…
