Steve Glenning was framed for the deaths of three hundred people. Now the woman who destroyed him needs him alive.

Anabelle Shrewt murdered her husband, turned Steve's own drones into weapons, and left the reclusive engineer to answer for a massacre he did not commit.

With Old Earth failing and passage to New Earth reserved for a chosen few, Anabelle is close to securing the future she believes belongs to her.

Steve is trapped behind bars, publicly branded a terrorist and awaiting trial for mass murder. The Company has seized his life's work. The justice system trusts the evidence against him. And the people controlling his prison are willing to deny him medicine, invade his mind, and use everyone he loves to break him.

But somewhere inside the network Anabelle corrupted, one unaltered response remains—physical proof she cannot manufacture.

It could clear Steve's name, expose the conspiracy, and lock Anabelle out of New Earth forever.

Outside the prison, Wynn Adams and Robert Kevin race to uncover the truth before the last evidence disappears. Inside, Steve must survive interrogations designed to make him surrender a secret he does not fully understand.

As memories are manipulated, identities become weapons, and trusted allies reveal hidden loyalties, Steve faces an impossible choice: protect the final safeguard surrounding humanity's future—or sacrifice it for his freedom.

Because Anabelle does not need to discover New Earth.

She only needs its defenses to believe she belongs there.

The Graceless is the gripping second book in the Watch the Wreckage series—a dystopian technothriller filled with autonomous drones, corrupted evidence, weaponized identity, conspiracy, betrayal, and a ruthless struggle to control humanity's future.
