Black Sand (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781105430619)

A viral professional humiliation turned Sori Kincaid into entertainment.

Now Neurotechnia is offering her something far more dangerous than a second chance.

Echelon is an elite experimental retreat hidden on a private volcanic island, where black beaches, glowing water, and glass-walled villas conceal a program built on neuroscience, behavioral conditioning, and social engineering. Every guest is fitted with a biometric wristband. Every response is measured. Every breakthrough is ranked. In the NOBLE Method, progress means privilege, and privilege changes everything.

Sori rises fast.

The island rewards her with better access, better treatment, and a version of power she can feel settling into her bones. Then participants begin to disappear. A woman in white keeps surfacing where she should not. The staff move with eerie precision. And the science behind Neurotechnia's transformation program begins to point toward a truth far more dangerous than reinvention.

Because the island does not simply ask who Sori wants to become.

It asks what she is willing to become in order to win.

A slow-burn psychological thriller packed with luxury suspense, social ranking, identity transformation, and a high-stakes island mystery, BLACK SAND is perfect for readers who love dark destination thrillers, women-led psychological suspense, and experimental programs with a deadly cost.
