Are you a big fan of mindless escapism? Well, you’re in luck. An excerpt from the fictional book *Bloodsong of Wycaro*—the latest novel in Carol Sturka’s *Winds of Wycaro* romantasy series—is now available to read on Apple Books.

*Bloodsong of Wycaro* is featured within the new sci-fi drama *Pluribus*, produced and distributed by Apple TV and created by Vince Gilligan. You can download the 11-page chapter [here](#).

In the first episode of *Pluribus*, Carol (played by Rhea Seehorn) reads an excerpt from *Bloodsong of Wycaro* during a book signing at Barnes & Noble. Many of her fans confront her about why the series’ heartthrob, Raban, is not featured on the cover. These concerns are addressed in a “Letter From the Author,” where Carol also shares her thoughts on the tale of Sisyphus.

Within *Pluribus*, Carol loathes her bestselling work—and the fans who devour every page. The description of *Bloodsong of Wycaro*, which is the fourth book in the *Wycaro* series, reads:

> “Take sail with Lucasia, Captain of the duneship *Mercator*, as she traverses the amaranthine sands of Wycaro seeking a cure for the insidious illness felling her crew. As Lucasia navigates a treacherous storm, she is haunted by memories of Raban, the rogue who stole her heart before walking the plank. Seething with passions which cry for release, she soon learns the only thing worse than finding yourself alone in the dark is discovering you’re not alone.”

Sound familiar?

*Pluribus* follows Carol after an Earth-shattering event known as “The Joining,” when all but 12 people on the planet are suddenly taken over by a mind virus that transforms them into friendly, all-knowing entities sharing one collective consciousness. Carol, described as “the most miserable person on Earth,” must fight for her individuality while the rest of the world tries to figure out how to “fix” her.

*Pluribus* debuted on November 7, and the first three episodes are now available to stream on Apple TV.
