Anger: Xane Volume 5

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?
