THE FRACTURE HUNTERS

Episode 7: The Garden of Glass

When fear becomes a weapon, courage is the only way through.

Zara Mitchell has led her team through six impossible trials. As one of the Fracture Hunters—three teens chosen to repair Earth's failing barrier against a world-devouring darkness—she's made the hard calls, chosen the dangerous paths, and kept her friends alive.

But trial seven is different!

Overnight, a crystalline garden erupts from a Portland construction site. Beautiful. Deadly. And it feeds on fear itself. Every spike of anxiety makes the glass formations grow sharper, more aggressive, more lethal. For Zara, whose greatest fear is making the wrong choice and losing someone she loves, this trial cuts deeper than any before.

With her enhanced strategic abilities pushed to their limits, Zara must lead Mei-Lin and Finn through a maze of razor-edged crystal that responds to their every emotion. But when their tech malfunctions and the garden spirals out of control, strategy isn't enough. Zara must face the one thing she's been avoiding since this all began:

Her own fear.

And when a mysterious message appears on their device - "You cannot lead them all. Choose the one you'll save" - Zara realizes the trials are about to get much, much darker.

Perfect for fans of action-packed YA sci-fi with deep friendships, impossible choices, and teens saving the world one trial at a time.
