THE TAKING OF TYANNA JACKSON

Tyanna Jackson is thirty-two years old, beautiful, exhausted, and trapped in a life that keeps shrinking around her.

In a low-income trailer park outside Fairwater, North Carolina, she spends her days surviving bills, disappointment, and a loveless relationship with a man who treats her more like property than a partner. The only steady love in her life is Rook, her loyal collie-shepherd mix — the one soul who stays close when everything else feels like it is falling apart.

Then, one night, the sky opens.

While walking Rook beneath the strange orange glow of the gas plant, Tyanna sees a black elliptical object bloom over an old roadside billboard. The sound of the world breaks apart. Reality bends. And Tyanna is taken.

When she wakes hours later behind a laundromat, bruised but alive, she is not the same woman who disappeared. Something has been placed inside her mind — alien geometry, impossible visions, and a warning she cannot ignore:

Two weeks to harmonization.

Now Tyanna can see the hidden signals buried inside everyday technology. Weather boxes. Towers. Screens. Government systems. What looks like public safety is something far more terrifying: a secret protocol designed to make humanity compliant before an invasion no one is supposed to notice.

And the people behind it know Tyanna knows.

Hunted by government agents, private contractors, and a conspiracy powerful enough to rewrite the truth, Tyanna is forced to run. Her only allies are Rook and Mark Glass, a skinny, sleep-deprived tech genius who recognizes the alien signal as part of his missing father’s work.

Together, Tyanna and Mark race through trailer parks, backroads, mountain switchbacks, secret repeaters, and hidden laboratories to expose a truth the world was never meant to hear.

But stopping the Protocol may cost Tyanna more than her life.

It may cost her the one thing they failed to take the first time:

herself.
