Unanchored

Unanchored is a quiet, gripping novel about a person who wakes up one morning able to fly—and immediately understands that no one can ever know.

In a world of cameras, witnesses, and viral proof, flight isn't freedom. It's risk. What begins as a private miracle becomes a carefully managed secret, practiced only at night and hidden behind routines, rules, and isolation. As the protagonist learns to control the impossible, the real struggle emerges not in the air, but on the ground—maintaining relationships, holding onto identity, and resisting the pull to disappear.

When a moment of crisis forces a public choice between staying hidden and saving a life, the secret fractures. Rumors spread. Footage circulates. Belief becomes unstable. And the protagonist must decide whether survival means vanishing into the sky—or learning how to land.

Haunting, intimate, and deeply human, Unanchored explores power without spectacle, freedom without escape, and the quiet weight of being different in a world that refuses to look away. It asks a single, unsettling question:

If you can leave everything behind—what makes you choose to stay?
