"LIFECAST" by Marc Opsal (Paperback Edition)
Written by co-writer of "The Story of Captain Charlotte," this YA Dystopian novel gives the reader a chilling vision of what the future could become.
Extreme urban sprawl has resulted in one massive megalopolis simply called, “The City.” The City’s wealthiest families live in the Highland, above a freezing layer of indigo mist.
Noble Valet Bear was born in the lowland, but now lives and works in the Highland as the sole servant of House Telladyne. Bear’s best friend, Aleks, was born to House Yukita, but has resisted her Noble grooming since she was young.
Until now, Bear has kept Aleks at a distance for fear his love might put them both in danger. Little does he know that they are about to stumble upon deeply-hidden secrets of the Idol that will threaten both of their lives.
In the fight to save themselves, Bear and Aleks must join forces with dangerous allies, face off against a foe who wields unimaginable power, and make the impossible choice between desire and survival.
"Opsal's series opener skewers today's shallow, capitalist society by pointing to the dystopia on the horizon... Frequent twists complicate the heroes' journey and will leave readers enthralled and eager for the sequel. A clever and cutting fantasy that takes modern society to task for its corruption." —Kirkus Review (Starred)
"[LIFECAST] is a simply compelling page turner of a read from cover to cover. Original, entertaining, populated with memorable characters and more plot twists than a carnival roller coaster, "Lifecast" is a deftly crafted novel -- the kind from which blockbuster movies are made!" —Midwest Book Review
