Madison, Wisconsin Apr 7, 2025 (Issuewire.com) - With the release of her striking debut novel, Power, Deception, and Control, new author Ivy Macy delivers a pulse-pounding thriller that reads like tomorrow’s headlines—if tomorrow were engineered by a secretive biotech company with something to hide.
Set deep inside the high-security walls of AioGenetics Inc., a cutting-edge biotech corporation, the novel follows Elara Cross, an IT analyst whose routine job takes a terrifying turn when she uncovers something she was never meant to know. The more she investigates, the clearer it becomes and escalating harassment follows. What begins with passive-aggressive emails and team exclusion quickly evolves into gaslighting, digital sabotage, geared towards destabilizing her.
As layers of deception unravel, Elara is forced to confront a hidden world where government interests, corporate power, and the occult converge.
Drawing from her background in IT, Macy crafts a story that feels both hauntingly plausible and disturbingly surreal. Power, Deception, and Control merges fiction with nonfiction, blending real-world technological threats with conspiracy and the supernatural, wrapped in a suspenseful narrative that never lets go.
“This book is for anyone who’s ever felt like something bigger is pulling the strings—and wondered just how deep the rabbit hole goes.” She follows with “The experiences at Aiogenetics Elara faces mirrors what many experience but don’t talk about, and in her case, may never have the chance to”. — Ivy Macy
The novel’s unique fusion of genres—part thriller, part speculative fiction, part investigative commentary—makes it a standout debut for fans of Black Mirror, Devs, and The Da Vinci Code alike.
Blending fiction with nonfiction, Power, Deception, and Control explores themes of digital surveillance, psychological manipulation, and supernatural influence, creating a thriller that feels both grounded and otherworldly. It’s the perfect read for fans of Devs and Black Mirror.
“Truth can only hide in fiction for so long. They’ll say it’s just a story. But you’ll know better.”
The novel is the first in a planned series. Macy’s follow-up with Shadow Mandate, which will launch sometime in 2025, continuing Elara’s journey as she navigates a growing occult resistance and warfare, and a government system more terrifying than she imagined.
Power, Deception, and Control is available now in hardcover, paperback, ebook, and audiobook formats wherever books are sold.
