What happens when no one is left to stop them? A new country is born, and the peaceful have no place in it. Isabel wants to live without fear. Azalea wants to make her proud. Somehow, cruelty has become entertainment. The worst offenders are the most rewarded. When her husband is killed in one of these filmed, brutal spectacles, Isabel snaps. She sets out to give them a taste of their own medicine—igniting hope across the nation. Azalea sees a wider spectrum of wrongdoing and thinks she has what it takes to stamp it out. Now they’re both playing a dangerous game, bucking the system. If they’re caught, they become just another martyr on a list so long it’s meaningless. One cuts through adversaries like she can’t be touched. The other is soon running for her life. Both are on a collision course with their greatest challenge—and neither knows if she’ll survive it. BOGART WOODSDALE makes his debut with DAZI-LAND, a dystopian thriller set in a near-future United Sozialist States of America. Blending absurd humor and action, it explores power, spectacle, and the emotional toll of resisting the architects of a world designed to fall apart. "Original, deftly crafted, thought-provoking, and an inherently riveting read from start to finish... unreservedly recommended." Midwest Book Review "An inventive, thorougly shocking take on a bleak future America." -- Kirkus Reviews
