Maya of the In-between

A young woman's journey of self-discovery against the backdrop of two contrasting inter-dimensional worlds.
One is Dystopian-a future in which humans ignore the repercussions of excessive industrialization on nature, and the other is Utopian-where humans live in harmony with nature and each other.
Planet Earth has been depleted, and natural disasters have wiped the land bare in a final attempt to restore balance and survive. All remaining human life is contained in one City. A City of iron and technology where the citizens are safe but they are not free.
Until recently, MAYA lived there in hiding, painting visions of a vibrant valley where nature still thrives. She's an inter-dimensional Sëer, a Mystic, a Feeler... and a Rebel.
Life imitates art when she sees the man she paints-a young, bright-eyed German officer, BJÖRN-who tells her the world she's been painting is real, and he's determined to find it.
In a race against the Control and a quest for truth and freedom, they escape the City and cross dimensions to seek the help of a sophisticated race of beings-keepers of the Earth's sacred mysteries-to save it from total self-destruction.
Only to discover they do not believe the Old World is worth saving...
A devastating exploration of climate change and human ignorance.
An awakening of consciousness.
An epic adventure.
And a slow-burn love story.
For fans of Avatar & Quiet; the power of introverts in a world that can't stop talking.

¿¿¿¿¿ "Wow. It's rare that I find a dystopian novel that is equally a utopian one. And this one is the most spiritual one I can remember reading in a while. If you only read one dystopian novel this year - please make it this one! You won't be disappointed." -Goodreads Review
