Bestselling Author Loathes Her Own Fictional Series in New Apple TV Show

The new Apple TV series "Pluribus" follows the story of bestselling author Carol Sturka after an Earth-shattering event known as "The Joining." In this post-apocalyptic world, all but 12 people on the planet are suddenly taken over by a mind virus that turns them into friendly, all-knowing entities that share one collective consciousness.

Carol, who is described as "the most miserable person on Earth," must now fight for her individuality as the rest of the world tries to figure out how to "fix" her. The series explores Carol's disdain for her own bestselling "Winds of Wycaro" romantasy series, which has a devoted fan base.

In a surprising twist, an excerpt from Carol's fictional "Bloodsong of Wycaro" novel, the latest in her "Winds of Wycaro" series, is now available to read on Apple Books. The description of the novel teases a tale of a captain traversing the sands of Wycaro in search of a cure for her crew's illness, haunted by memories of a lost love.

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