It has been 300 years since the Great War turned the green to brown and the blue to gray. Zenith, the last bastion of civilization, and the only green place left on Earth, is in turmoil as the unbroken rule of one family is in danger of coming to an end. Regent Queen Burdette, a young charismatic leader, ruling in her dying father's stead, is refusing to conceive a child to continue the line which has stood for almost 3 centuries.

The Great City-State, with its formidable rules of population control and devotion to a religion that denies the existence of God, must navigate itself through, palace intrigue, a rising tension between working and wealthy classes, and a mysterious nomadic group of cannibals plotting war, to the west.

Along the way Burdette, her friends, and her rivals will all discover that Zenith, and its history, hold many secrets, some of which will upend the notion of their reality.

From wealth inequality, climate change, overpopulation, to authoritarian strong men, "Zenith" is, in many ways, an allegory for the current times in which we find ourselves. A captivating work of Dystopian fiction, this is the first book in a series of world building novels spanning thousands of years into our future.
