Rage as One

Imagine a world where you are told:Where to live.Where to work.What to say.What to think.Imagine a government that mandates:Your knowledge.Your lifespan.Your healthcare.Your family.Your worth.Your worship.Imagine a game show:Devised to entertain and manipulate a blood-thirsty population.Designed to coerce allegiance to the government from those whose lives depend on the viewer's mercy.Feel the rage.The rage of the oppressed.The rage of the silenced.The rage of the abused.The rage of those alone.The rage of those afraid.They rage the only way they can: Inside their own minds, the only place that is still their own.Welcome to the world of Addie Mitchell and Rian Gearheart.Welcome to the Global United Regions.Rage as One tells the story of Addie Mitchell, a feisty mocha-skinned beauty with a heart for others. Addie's loyalty to the GUR, the oppressive monster government she has always known, is changing the more her eyes open to the injustice around her. Rian Gearheart shows up in her life, son of a prominent GUR representative, claiming to be an ally and a convert to that hateful, outlawed religion, biblical Christianity. Addie and those she loves must face the fact that they either give in to the GUR's commands or take the risk of rebellion in the only way they can-running for their very lives and putting their trust in people who could turn out to be their worst enemies.
