Lockdown

By Zeyana Musthafa

Centuries have passed since the war. Only one city remains standing, enclosed by a glass dome. Ever since, not a soul has left it and not a soul has entered.

Until a small act of sabotage fires a hole in their faultless hemisphere. Nothing is ever the same again. While the Government does everything in its control to resist an uprising, a man with a thirst for power makes a deal with the Outsiders. The Rebels are ready to take action. The City is waking up, snapping out of its drugged state.

Amidst it all, Xia, the Presidents daughter struggles to find where she belongs after she inadvertently escapes her mothers control. Soon she begins to question, whether perfect is the answer after all
