Description
A dystopian story. When chaos breaks across the newly-formed European Federation, against all odds, the Sunrise City strives. Its wealth and thriving economy are maintained by an authoritarian State that imposes a meritocratic society. Everyone has their place in society, designed by birth, or else they will be deported into the chaotic, lawless Sunset City, where poverty and its migrants are kept prisoners by a wall and its border patrols. When Justyna Lubomirska takes matters into her own hands to try and find the missing Anneliese Tänzer after the deportation of her friend's son, she finds herself trapped in the armed resistance's plans. The Metanoia Army, watching from afar, slowly threatens to crush the perfect order of the Sunrise City. The secret lies in the words of the martyr Dessie O'Shaunnessey and his theory of metanoia, promised to one day unite the city. This is a story of love and friendship, of loss and faith, of trauma and resilience. Most of all, it is the intimate story of resistance of those forgotten across a wall. --- The Best of Times came third place in The Union Awards (Sept. 2017)
