Protopia
by John Calia
Genre: Dystopian Thriller
.
In a world ravaged by ideological war, can two lifelong friends, torn apart, find
their way back to each other, or will conflicting visions of a perfect society
destroy their relationship or, worse yet, prove fatal?
Olivia and Alexandra, inseparable since
childhood, stumble into the brutal conflict between Cygnus, a bastion of
ultra-libertarian ideals, and Elyria, a socialist commune that promises
equality and justice. As tensions escalate, the women are forced to make a
choice: which community to join.
Olivia, haunted by anxiety and self-doubt, is
drawn to the promise of security and equality in Elyria. Alexandra, ever the
adventurer, chooses the independence and freedom of Cygnus. As they settle into
their respective communities, Olivia and Alexandra encounter rigid ideologies
and corruption at the highest levels of government. They challenge the leaders
of their respective communities and realize their lives are under threat.
Olivia must confront her own demons and the
limitations they’ve imposed on her life. Growing in confidence and
self-awareness, she starts to envision a different future—one that balances
individual freedom with collective well-being. As the conflict between Cygnus
and Elyria reaches a boiling point, Olivia and Alexandra must navigate the
treacherous landscape of their own divided loyalties. Can they turn the
obstacles into opportunities, or will the divide between them prove
insurmountable—even deadly?
Protopia
is a heart-pumping, thought-provoking tale of politics, adventure, and loyalty
set in a dystopian world that eerily echoes our own.
Fans of Emily St. John Mandel and Matt Haig
will love this new adventure from the author of Parallel Lies and the
best-seller The Awakening of Artemis.
