Apple Publishes Free In‑Universe ‘Pluribus’ Chapter on Apple Books

The release advances Apple’s transmedia strategy to deepen viewer engagement between weekly episodes.

Overview

  • Apple has made an 11-page excerpt from Bloodsong of Wycaro available on Apple Books at no cost and without a subscription.
  • The download includes a full chapter and an in-character letter from Carol Sturka that responds to persistent fan questions.
  • The chapter centers on Lucasia, captain of the duneship Mercator, on a hazardous journey to the Isle of Sanantes to help her debilitated crew.
  • The sample spotlights romantasy elements such as a moonlight-linked illness and a banished healer named Madam Asclepius.
  • The promotion echoes Apple’s Severance tie-ins and bills Bloodsong as the fourth entry in the Winds of Wycaro series as Pluribus continues its weekly rollout on Apple TV+.
