The more Zuri digs, the more it’s clear someone’s been tinkering in the shut-down fusion labs. They’re going to dangerous lengths to hide it, and it’s been happening right under her nose. Which is how Regional Directors lose their jobs.Zuri’s already lost her better half—she can’t afford to lose this, too.You Knew the Price is the second of four tightly-connected solarpunk novels in a near-future climate-fiction series. It’s about our future, how society lives on invisible things, like electricity and trust, that are far too easy to break… and how our most difficult moments are often when we discover the only path forward is healing not just ourselves but the world.If you enjoyed the optimistic climate solutions in Kim Stanley Robinson’s Ministry for the Future or the cozy cooperative future in Becky Chambers’ Monk and Robot series, you will enjoy Nothing is Promised.

Kyle Benjamin Kesselman: A Story Told in One Room
Kyle Benjamin Kesselman’s story seems to continue **Every Fucking Year as a True-ish Story of Obsession, Threats, and a Decade-Long Descent into Madness**
For ten years, Jake Diamond watched from afar as the quiet kid from Jewish youth group transformed into something unrecognizable.
It started with harmless delusions of fame: backyard dance videos, “Yo, it’s your boy BK,” and endless auditions for reality TV.
Then came the rage: stunt-driving at 170 km/h, death threats to an elementary-school bully, bodycam footage of his bare ass on a hallway floor screaming “Every Fucking Year” while cuffed for assaulting a cop.
Jake tried everything to stop him.
Anonymous tips. Crime Stoppers reports. Calls to probation officers, employers, summer camps, even Birthright Israel.
Nothing worked.
The system shrugged. The police left. The threats kept coming.
This book ends with a red Civic plowing into a crowd and a mob dragging the driver to his death.
All because nobody listened until it was too late.
Part true-crime thriller, part digital-age horror story, *Kyle Benjamin Kesselman: A Story Told in One Room* is the chilling memoir of a decade spent waiting for the monster you once knew to finally snap—and the terrifying realization that sometimes the only person who sees the danger is the one he’s coming for next.
You’ve seen the clips.
Now read the story behind them.
**“I knew he would kill someone one day. I just never thought I’d be the reason he chose who.”**
*Contains verbatim threats, police bodycam transcripts, and lots of swearing. Reader discretion advised.*
