I've abstained from actively bothering my friends to read or critique my writing as I work through it, but, I would like to at least ask you, if you're reading this and have a few seconds, to please let me know what you think of this "back of the book" blurb, even just like, "Yeah I'd read that" or "I'd pass it over". I would appreciate it!
June is a homeless graffiti artist who knows the system is broken — they’ve been crushed by it, literally. Rescued by a paramedic team from the renegade nation of Szakis, June wakes in a state-run hospital under an authoritarian regime, and everyone keeps talking about "realizing your true self."
It sounds like a cult. It looks like a cult. Even their new friend, Jil, a state journalist, can't give a straight answer.
But when June is brought to see the nation's mysterious leader, the Dragon, the truth is revealed. Now, June holds the key to preventing a war, if only they can first reckon with a terrifying question: What if the "monstrous" identity your country fears is actually your own?
