Zone-E

by S.M. Taylor

The year is 3059, and the rules of the Dome are simple: keep your head down and stay out of trouble. Almost sixteen-year-old Lyza Carroe can’t seem to do either. 

After a reckless fight with a group of Richies ends in more violence than usual, Lyza finds themself badly injured, hunted by Enforcers, and no longer safe in their own home. They expect jail. Instead, Lord Avarice sees opportunity. 

Lyza is sent to the surface world with a group of other condemned criminals. The task: cross the icy N.A.T., retrieve a long-lost “treasure,” and bring it back. Survival means freedom. Otherwise? They don’t survive. 

The farther Lyza gets from the home they knew, the more impossible the way forward becomes. The path is paved with secrets, and the more truth Lyza uncovers, the less they can trust the mission, the treasure, or their promised freedom. 

Playlist

Music drives me when I write. Sometimes a single song can spur just the right feeling I need to craft a scene.
