Imperiul castelului de nisip

Eden seeks safety as rising seas flood America's coasts. She once had a kind father, close friends, and few worries. War ends that life. A radical group now rules the world. It claims to fight gaps between social groups. New tech and the need for resources have made these gaps worse. Its members attack the rich and send people to camps. They seize the homes and goods of those who oppose them.

Eden flees to an island she hopes will keep her safe. No other place on Earth is free from army rule. Yet strange forces rule there. An unseen foe lurks close by. This haven may hold worse threats than the world she fled.

Kayla Olson's first book is a science-fiction thriller. It takes place in the near future. It suits readers who like tales of harm to nature. It also offers hidden threats and plot twists. The story shows life after the world's collapse. Loss, hope, love, and firm bonds of friendship shape it.

Harry Potter and Naufragiatii helped spark Olson's ideas. She was born in Texas. She played guitar and piano from childhood. She held several jobs before she began to write. The novel has come out in more than fifteen languages. It caught Leonardo DiCaprio's eye. Work on a film version was in progress.
