The Apocalypse of Peter: Part 1
An oppressive and murderous religious order dominates the lives and futures of the citizens of the world. A young woman, Samara, is rescued from abandonment at birth and raised on a secluded island by a respectable and feared older woman who does not follow the island's practice of killing all outsiders who find and enter the island. The island is dominated by a practice of gift seering, which reveals a child's gifting, future, and potential status in society at birth. Once this gifting is known, the child is expected to learn and follow the State's religion while also learning to control their gifting in preparation for adulthood. Samara faces a life of social exclusion because she was found at birth and was never seered. As Samara learns to navigate her life of social exclusion, she survives by training her mind and body in preparation for the annual exams at eighteen, which are used to prove to the island and the rest of the state that the children did not live a life of sloth, but are ready to leave the island and be accepted into the adult world of the state. During the tests, she learns that love can cover over all oppression and exclusion from below by showing kindness in day to day relationships.
Another adventure begins when she learns she will not live a life of exclusion forever, but is being rescued from the oppression of her island and conscripted into the Syndicate, a secret network of undergrounds who learn to be resistant to the religious regime's brainwash and military power. As she travels to her new life, she learns and meets soldiers from two of the Syndicate's wings, the Elven and the Elementals, and details of how the Syndicate views the State's understanding of God or the Creator she had been raised to believe as wrong.
A satire about the abuse of ideas and belief systems and working together to fight the oppression they support.
This is part one of a four part serial release of book one. The Apocalypse of Peter is a four book series.
