Bend

A news anchor freezes on live television. Nine seconds of silence. A string of numbers. Then nothing.

​

Margaret Swanson knows a signal when she hears one. She was built to.

​

The trigger is real, it's buried in broadcasts across the country, and it's about to go wide. Margaret has one move: walk back into the studio lights and use the weapon they made her to be.

​

Some signals aren't meant to be heard. They're meant to be obeyed.

**This Margaret Swanson standalone novella is a great welcome to the series. Short but dips your toes into the Margaret Swanson world.
