The Cycle

The Cycle Book 1:

In a city where the grind never stops, *The Cycle* follows the intertwined journeys of three individuals—Darnell, Isabel, and Ricky—each trapped in the relentless grip of systemic forces designed to exploit and suppress. As they navigate the suffocating pressures of corporate greed, economic hardship, and dangerous alliances, their struggles expose the harsh realities of survival in a rigged system.

Darnell, a programmer forced to create an algorithm designed to manipulate workers, faces the impossible choice between compliance and rebellion. Isabel, an ambitious entrepreneur, battles rejection and financial despair while trying to launch her vision of collaborative community empowerment. Ricky, caught between his brother’s criminal world and his sister’s future, struggles to break free from the traps pulling him deeper into chaos.

When their paths converge, they pool their skills to fight back against the machine that holds them captive. Yet victory is fleeting, as the system retaliates with greater force. United by necessity but torn by their individual battles, the trio discovers that escape isn’t just unlikely—it’s almost impossible. And as the cycle evolves, so must their determination to endure.
