Xane

Xane: Love (Volume 4 – The Emotion Series) What happens when a synthetic girl learns to feel love-for the very first time? Xane is the world's most advanced emotional Synth-a synthetic human built to understand the complexity of human emotions. After mastering fear, shame, and sadness, she faces her most elusive challenge yet: Love. With her all-girl jazz band on the rise and a summer full of gigs ahead, Xane dives into the thrill of music, friendship, and the intoxicating possibility of romance. But her emotional algorithms glitch when she starts to notice things she can't explain-like the flutter in her chest when a mysterious fan keeps showing up. Is this what love feels like? Or is it just another puzzle her heart can't solve? While River, her loyal best friend, watches her journey from the sidelines, Xane must confront the truth: Can a Synth truly fall in love? Or is she destined to observe emotion forever-from the outside? If you love stories filled with emotional depth, slow-burn tension, and a one-of-a-kind protagonist navigating what it means to be human, Xane: Love will pull you in and never let go.

ANGER – Xane Volume 5 What happens when even a Synth can't control her fury? In this gripping installment of the Xane Series, Xane-a synthetic human designed to study emotions-faces her most dangerous challenge yet: anger. Programmed never to harm a human and equipped with failsafes that should prevent emotional overload, Xane begins to malfunction after witnessing a cruel act against her closest friend. Her once-controlled world spirals into a storm of red-glowing eyes, clenched fists, and the terrifying realization that she's capable of rage. As her programming unravels, Xane turns to her closest human ally, River, who agrees to help-even if it means confronting his own buried fury in a high-stakes virtual simulation. But can either of them survive what happens when the boundary between emotion and destruction begins to blur? This emotional sci-fi drama explores the raw truth of anger-how it builds, breaks, and ultimately teaches us who we really are. Perfect for fans of Inside Out, The Hunger Games, and I Am Not a Serial Killer. Will Xane learn to control her anger before it controls her? Or will her mission-and her friendships-go up in flames?
