In the twenty-thirties, the Third World War swept across the world, tearing asunder nations and families lives and ideals. Killing millions, this permanent stain on the fabric of the world has taken its rightful place in the books of history as one of the bloodiest and most cataclysmic periods of all times. It will never be forgotten no matter how many days or nights pass. And many days and nights have passed. It is now twenty fifty-three. The smoke has finally begun to clear. The unified nation of the United States of America has been replaced by several fractured countries. One of them being Southaro. Despite being hot and dry and miserable and still-recovering, Southaro is a beautiful place, with vast deserts and picturesque coastlines and stylishly-designed cities. And despite simmering tensions with its northern neighbor, Pacifica, Southaro has managed to become a thriving nation, a nation of progress. Life is peaceful enough. At least for now. And it is also the home of fifteen year-old Luke Andrew Sardenallke. Luke is smart, with great ambitions. But for now, he is just a student at S.F. Raiston High School with little clue of what he wants to do in life. He is a modern battleship with no definitive compass. And he is no chosen one, no destined hero. But when he is confronted with a great opportunity, he will use it to discover himself and march towards the horizon of the future. He is not the only Sardenallke. Along with him, the Sardenallke clan consists of his two younger sisters, Lexi and Elsa, as well as his mom, Maislyn. The four of them have been through a lot together and have grown a lot by such. But they still have a lot to go through together and a lot of growing to do. They know this and, thus far, they are confident that they can do so in peace. But soon, they, along with Luke's high school peers Isaac, Rebekah, Aly, Stacey, and Mike, as well as the rest of the nation, are going to be thrown into a state of chaos that, for better or worse, will knock down most any barrier imaginable, leading to a onslaught of death, destruction, exhilaration, passion, change. And perhaps even trips to different worlds.
About the Author: I, Joshua A. Fagan (1999-) was born in Colorado Springs, Colorado. I have always been considered smart in school. But that was not enough for me. I felt that I could do better, that I could make a real impact on the world. I want to do more than entertain you all, my base of loyal readers. I want to inspire you to spread your wings and soar towards the horizon, untouchable by any. I do not know what the future holds for me or you, but I will pursue it with all due fire. And I hope you do likewise. I have learned a lot. But there is still a lot to learn. As there always is. I am also a lover of travel, having gone to such nations as Costa Rica and the Bahamas. Traveling allows me to expand who I am, an endeavor I am always pursuing. I see things at a deeper level than most people. If I inspire anyone to do that as well, then I have most certainly done my job. But if you read my books because you think they are just fun or creative, I thank you as well. There are so many perspectives in the world, and I am a fan of being offered many different ones. In short, I am an ambitious writer who wants to express ideas and change the world. Read and share my books. And follow me on Twitter; I always have something to say. Help me embrace the glorious craft of literature.
