In 2045, freedom has a price. Ryan Murphy didn’t get sent to prison. He was sold into a new reality.
Survive. Obey. Outlast.
The Chainmark Series is a brutal, unflinching saga about survival, identity, and the cost of freedom.
When sixteen-year-old Ryan Murphy is sentenced into a system designed to erase him, he learns the first rule of survival: you can lose everything — your name, your body, your voice — and still fight to stay human.
Across chains, scars, silence, and survival, this series follows Ryan’s journey through the darkness he never chose — and the fire he refuses to let die.
In 2045, they don’t send you to prison. They sell you.
The year is 2045. America’s war on drugs has become a war on its own people. Overcrowded prisons and a ruthless new government give rise to Condition Zero—a program that sells inmates instead of incarcerating them.
Sixteen-year-old Ryan Murphy is one of the first minors sold. Sentenced for a crime he didn’t understand. Bought by a sadistic Texas rancher who sees obedience as the only law.
Now Ryan must learn the rules—fast.
Silence. Submission. Survival.
But even in captivity, something in him won’t die.
Because survival isn’t enough.
He wants to live.
And he wants to be free.
Ryan Murphy was sixteen when they took his name.
Sold under the National Slavery Act. Sentenced to four years. Bought by a man who treats obedience like a sport.
Now he’s just Boy.
Every bruise, every silence, every touch—another rule carved into his skin. But Ryan hasn’t vanished. Not completely. Beneath the routine, beneath the scars, something still burns.
He counts in other languages. He remembers rooftops. He knows the clock is ticking.
Until it runs out, survival is the only rebellion.
The Boy is Book Two in the Chainmark Series—a raw, unflinching story of control, resistance, and what it costs to stay human.
