Young Adult readers, fantasy and sci-fi enthusiasts, adventure seekers, and anyone who enjoys richly imagined worlds and compelling, character-driven storytelling.
A perfect world. A hidden truth.
A freedom worth fighting for.
Seventeen-year-old Ivy was born in the silence between planets, raised in orbit, kept safe, kept controlled.
She’s never stepped foot on a planet. Never made a real choice. Never questioned the mission.
Until now.
The world her family is sent to study is too perfect. Too quiet. And the deeper Ivy is drawn in, the more she begins to see it. The cracks beneath the surface, the rules no one speaks aloud, and the cost of keeping a world in harmony.
As secrets rise and connections grow, Ivy must choose between the life she was trained for…
And the freedom she was never supposed to find.
Developed over 10 years, this debut novel is the culmination of Monique’s lifelong love of fantasy and speculative fiction. With meticulous detail and a voice both fresh and powerful, Monique has painted a world in words that is both captivating and accessible. This first edition sets the stage for a full trilogy, with the story expanding into a larger saga.
A debut novel already praised by beta readers as “impossible to put down”
Combines the epic descriptive power of Tolkien with fresh YA sci-fi fantasy storytelling
First in a planned trilogy, offering strong series potential for readers and retailers
Perfect for fans of adventure-driven, character-centred fantasy worlds
