As she gazed out at the ravaged landscape, Olivia Fletcher felt the weight of her exhaustion like a
physical force dragging her down into the dusty earth. Five years of constant strife—of strategizing
and problem-solving, of rising and failing—had all taken its toll. She longed for a life of quiet
contemplation, of peaceful days spent in a garden or a library, free from the constant din of conflict.

But that life seemed as distant as a dream. The struggle between Cygnus and Elyria showed no signs
of abating, and Olivia's skills as a mediator and leader were still desperately needed. She felt like a
worn-out tool, perpetually called upon to fix the unfixable, to bridge the unbridgeable gaps between
sworn enemies.

And yet, despite her fatigue, Olivia couldn't shake the feeling of inadequacy that had haunted her for
so long. Was she truly making a difference, or was she just a band-aid on a bullet wound? Did she
have the strength and wisdom to bring peace to this shattered world, or was she just a fraud waiting
to be exposed? The doubts swirled in her mind like a toxic fog, threatening to consume her at any
moment.

As the war drums beat louder, Olivia knew she couldn't afford to indulge in her uncertainty. She
took a deep breath, squared her shoulders, and stepped forward into the fray once more. But the
questions lingered, echoing in her mind like a whispered mantra: What if I'm not enough? What if I
fail? What if...?


BLURB:

America’s cultural divide turns deadly.

When lifelong friends Olivia and Alexandra find themselves in opposing camps, the bonds of their friendship are tested like never before.

Olivia seeks solace in a socialist utopia that promises protection and belonging, but at what cost?

Meanwhile, Alexandra chases freedom. But can she survive in a community with few, if any, rules?

As their worlds collide and tensions escalate, secrets and lies threaten to destroy the foundation of their relationship.

Can they bridge the gap between them, or will their differences tear them apart forever?

In this gripping tale of loyalty, adventure, and human connection, the stakes are higher than ever. Protopia is a thought-provoking thrill ride that explores the power of friendship in a world on the brink.

If you devour the complex characters of Emily St. John Mandel or the visionary world-building of Octavia Butler, you'll be captivated by this latest masterpiece by the author of the Amazon best-seller The Awakening of Artemis.
