Cene

By Aidan T Parkinson

Since the collapse of the Empire, the Senate of the Bodenite Republic has ruled the Isles of Albion for twenty annums, immediately winning wars that have led to the occupation of the realms of Leith and Scotia. As a state characterised by militant expansion and Corporate monopoly, it's government generates a culture of nepotism, propaganda and insecurity. Faced with evolving challenges, initiatives by the Republic to enforce stability lead to alarming unforeseen outcomes.

Paula and her close friends Emilia and Johan have lived a relatively happy childhood, within the sheltered community of Dawn Hall. Having finished studying at the local academy, they now prepare themselves for their forthcoming apprenticeships in the capital city of Kohlberg. The way ahead becomes a gritty and wide-ranging tragedy, as they strive to fulfil their potential within unfavourable circumstances.

How does Paula find safety after her betrayal?

Who makes the necessary sacrifice to protect her?

Cene is the initial release of a cyberpunk saga for young adults.
