The Filter
He built it to keep them safe. The question is what it costs to be kept.
Years after the discovery that changed everything, Lucas Sullivan is building the most ambitious system of his life — the kind of work that swallows a man whole.
He has a wife he would protect against anyone. A daughter unlike any child before her. And the slow, cold sense that his own life has a shape he didn’t draw — that the choices carrying him forward may not have started with him.
What they are building is meant to keep people safe.
It may.
That is what frightens him.
Outside, the world is beginning to turn. Lucas can no longer tell whether the thing rising under his hands is the shelter that will keep his family safe, or the walls that will keep them — and the difference may not be one he is permitted to decide.
The questions that haunted The Asterisk return here, larger and closer to home. Some choices can’t be unmade. Some were never yours to make.
The Filter is the second novel in the CE Series — a story of family, ambition, and the price of the things we build to keep the people we love safe.
