Working Title
"The Tower's Shadow" in the new series Titled: "Jericho"
A note from the Author (that's me!)
This book is a mix of thriller, science fiction, and fantasy with Christian themes behind the entire storyline. It'll be symbolic, without direct Christian characters. However, some characters (one in particular :) quote directly from the Gospels, so the Christian themes will be [hopefully] be obvious.

Book Description
In a world built on lies, what price must be paid for the truth?
In the shadow of an all-powerful Tower, the last remnants of humanity cling to survival in Elysium, a city divided by rings of privilege and oppression. Kaden McCloud, a rising Agent of The Tower, believes he's fighting to preserve mankind's last hope. But when he encounters Kira, a member of the rebellious Lighthouse Remnant, his convictions are shaken to the core.
As Kaden's eyes open to the cruel reality of The Tower's rule, he's thrust into a world where nothing is as it seems. Charcoal-skinned Elites with terrifying powers hunt dissenters, memories of past lives bleed into the present, and a mysterious figure named Jericho holds the key to humanity's true destiny.
With the fate of Elysium hanging in the balance, Kaden must choose between the security of The Tower and the dangerous freedom offered by the Remnant. His journey will uncover long-buried secrets, challenge the very nature of reality, and force him to confront the ultimate question: In a world built on lies, what price must be paid for the truth?
Jericho is a mind-bending blend of dystopian thriller and metaphysical fantasy that explores themes of faith, free will, and the power of sacrifice. Perfect for fans of The Matrix, Inception, and The Hunger Games, this first installment in an epic trilogy will leave you questioning everything you thought you knew about the nature of reality and the human spirit.
