Ashes of the Republic: A Satirical Thriller

The year is 2046. Freedom is extinct. Faith is law. And one woman's impossible pregnancy could ignite a revolution.

After two decades under President Dennison's theocratic rule, the United States has become a surveillance state where elections are staged, dissent is criminalized, and women's bodies are controlled by the government.

Lily Osbourne survives by staying silent until a routine airport scan reveals the impossible-she's pregnant despite her use of long-term contraception. Her fetus is assigned a Social Security number by the Republic before she even has a chance to process its existence.

But Lily never took the fertility override pill. Someone chose for her.

As Lily and her partner, Jeff Maslow, search for answers, they're drawn into the orbit of Iwanna Dennison-the President's ruthless daughter-and a larger conspiracy that could unravel the regime itself.

As rival forces plot in the shadows, Lily is pulled into the brutal power struggle at the heart of the Dennison regime, where her pursuit of truth threatens to shatter a nation built on lies.

Terrifyingly plausible and razor-sharp, Ashes of the Republic is a gripping series opener that blends the political paranoia of Orwell's 1984 with the feminist fury of The Handmaid's Tale.
