The Tapestry Tales Frayed Dreams, Book 1, (Paperback)

When two teens are abruptly disconnected from the Tapestry, their lifelong dreams unravel.

In the year 2291, humans live under the protection of the Tapestry, connected via Threads implanted in their brains to gently regulate their lives. While Earth seems like a paradise, chaos is spreading through holes torn into the Tapestry called the Fray.

Jagrav Mahajan needs his mother's approval for a cybernetic leg replacement, but she vanished with her cult of mathematical naturalists. The resources Jag needs to find his missing mother are wrapped up in his father's lies.

Inspired by eco-superhero Breaker, African American high school student Nia Beckett is determined to save the last wild jungle. When Nia meets Jag at the crumbling Five Palms Resort, she realizes Breaker is there on a mission of her own. Nia must unmask the superhero's secret identity if her tiny activist group, Teens For Earth, has any hope of finally succeeding in a mission.

The teens face life-threatening dangers in the wild jungle with a stuffy Senator's son, a genius Viking girl, and a mysterious silkie chicken. Jag and Nia learn of the Talents they never dreamed they had. Meanwhile, in the depths of DARC, Ando the squirrel monkey awakens to his powerful Talent.
