Early in the 22nd century, a scientific breakthrough known as The Invention grants humanity access to its most precious commodity: time. Quantified, monetized, and weaponized by the state, time becomes the ultimate tool of control.
Evan, a suspected dissident, is unjustly imprisoned in Detention Facility 24, where isolation and time manipulation are used to break the will of those who resist. Desperate to find and free him, Evan's wife, Holly, is drawn into the underground -1 movement, a shadowy resistance determined to dismantle the authoritarian regime governing the Grid.
As Holly uncovers the truth behind The Three Pillars - the interconnected systems maintaining society's illusion of order - the movement risks turning the regime's greatest weapon against its creators. In risking everything to sever the systems of power, the movement confronts the cost of rebellion and the possibility of reclaiming freedom from authoritarian rule.
Standing Alone at the Edge of the World is a character-driven dystopian novel about resistance, resilience, and the danger of surrendering time - and truth - to unchecked power.
