Elysian's Son

Elysian's Son by Douglas S. Reed is a Modern & Contemporary title available in paperback book format. Beneath the pallid glass of Mehkane's Dome Dominion, twelve-year-old David has known only the sterile certainty of life within the Unified Sovereign Alliance, where every life is monitored, and all dreams are extinguished. But whispered stories of Elysian, a place where freedom thrives beyond the Anointed's reach, ignite something dangerous within him. When David breaks free from his predetermined life and flees into the wilderness beyond the dome, carrying only hope and the belief that Elysian exists, he is pursued by the relentless Guardian 10-2-10, whose orders are absolute: terminate the dream. With help from Lady Myla, one of the Anointed's own elite who risks everything to help him escape the system she once served, David races across a harsh landscape where reality blends with legend, forced to decide what he's willing to give up to find a place that may only exist in stories. Elysian's Son is a breathtaking journey that questions the very nature of freedom and faith, showing that even in the darkest dystopias, some truths are worth fighting for, and the human spirit refuses to be caged.

Ideal for readers interested in modern & contemporary.
