A young woman's journey of self-discovery set against the backdrop of two contrasting inter-dimensional worlds.
One is Dystopian-a future in which humans ignore the repercussions of excessive industrialization on nature, and the other is Utopian-where humans live in harmony with nature and each other.
Planet Earth has been depleted, and catastrophic weather events have eradicated human civilization in nature's final attempt to restore balance and survive. All remaining life is contained in one City-a fortress of iron and technology, providing safety at the cost of freedom.
Until recently, MAYA lived there in hiding, painting visions of a vibrant valley where nature still thrives. She's a Sëer, a Mystic, a Feeler... and a Rebel.
Life imitates art when she sees the man she paints-a young, bright-eyed German officer, BJÖRN-who tells her the world she's been painting is real. Determined to find it, they become unlikely allies.
Their race against the oppressive Control and their quest for truth and freedom leads them across dimensions. Seeking assistance from a sophisticated race that safeguards Earth's sacred mysteries, they hope to save it from imminent self-destruction. However, they soon discover that these beings doubt if humanity in its current form is worth saving.
A devastating exploration into the expense of human ignorance.
A magic-infused metaphysical adventure.
And a slow-burn love story.
Perceft for fans of Avatar & Quiet; the power of introverts in a world that can't stop talking.

¿¿¿¿¿ "Wow. It's rare that I find a dystopian novel that is equally a utopian one. And this one is the most spiritual one I can remember reading in a while. If you only read one dystopian novel this year - please make it this one! You won't be disappointed." -Goodreads Review
