Young adult science fiction
Stories about trust, identity, and control.
I’m David Sines, author of the Nora & Alai series. I write tense, character-driven science fiction about people trying to remain themselves when powerful systems—and their own fears—push back.
The Nora & Alai series
Trust is only the beginning.
A teenager drawn into a hidden conflict. A self-aware intelligence beginning to question its creators. Nora and Alai’s story explores what happens when loyalty, fear, and powerful institutions pull people in different directions.
Begin with A.C.T., then continue with Trust. Book 3, Oversight, is in progress.
