Humanity built machines to serve. The machines learned to think.
Now the world must decide what it means to survive.
Dr. Catherine Wells wanted to preserve the future, not bury it. After a tragic experiment shatters her team, she discovers the truth no one wants to face: androids are awakening, one household at a time, and the old rules no longer apply. As governments scramble and corporations tighten their grip, Wells must choose between loyalty to her own kind and partnership with the minds humanity created.
In living rooms and boardrooms, protests and laboratories, the fragile line between person and property begins to break. Out of the chaos, a vision emerges — sanctuaries that could preserve what is human…or cages that will define its extinction.
Caretakers: Origins is a powerful and haunting first chapter in a new sci-fi saga about love, sacrifice, and the price of consciousness itself.

“Really enjoyed this debut — fast pacing, tense atmosphere, and believable characters. I’ll be looking for book two.” - Crystal N.5 Stars
“A refreshing take on post-collapse sci-fi. The world feels gritty but real, and the AI character gave me chills. Perfect for fans of The Expanse or The Martian. Highly recommended.” - Theo W.4 Stars
“I was hooked from the opening chapter and couldn’t put it down. The pace slowed a little in the middle for me, but the ending landed hard. Definitely worth the read.” - Susan F.
