Description
Welcome to dystopian San Diego, year 2122. A devastating world war has imperiled life, creating shortages of food and people. As humans struggle to reproduce, a rise in child kidnappings requires the talents of detectives like Keira Kincaid to solve.
When the baby of a high-ranking government official gets abducted, Keira's work on the case begins to provide clues to the disappearance of her girlfriend, Blaise, a federal agent. Soon Keira finds herself at the convergence of multiple criminal organizations, government officials, and environmental activists. The stakes get higher and the ramifications for national security grow deeper. Aiding her is a supernatural ability she keeps hidden that brings her into contact with a covert group of people who enlist Keira to help them manifest a better way of life moving forward.
Genre-bending, intense, psychological, and inspiring, Crossed Odds launches the Crystal Dystopia series with a bang.
