The Elizion Shield

A dystopian sci fi fantasy set in a divided world. A teenage boy wandering alone through a drought-ravaged wasteland, witnesses a fight one night between two sky-born. Against all reason, he saves the life of a badly-injured girl who is left for dead. His own desperate struggle for survival ramps up a notch when he is forcibly taken by her people to one of the great sky cities for questioning over the incident. For all its opulence, the city is not without its own problems when a series of inexplicable earthquakes strike and the outbreak of civil war forces him to flee. Yet where can he hide when the sky-born once hunted his kind? The tale evokes the best and worst in two contrasting races who must work together to solve the terrible secret behind a destructive agenda hastening the world's doom. Gripping. Intense. Sometimes dreamlike and deeply moving.
