Swimming with the Sun
By Julia Martel
The Northern Territories thrive under the watchful guidance of The Variety, a powerful intelligence managing every facet of life.
Noa (19) thought she understood her path until a sudden reassignment to the distant Cavalry Main Ranch shatters her expectations, and she finds herself grappling with rumors and secrets in the burnt grasslands far from her familiar life.
Tali (13) is trapped in mundane lessons at Main Ranch, seeking adventure. When a near drowning experience transforms her understanding of her own potential, she is pushed toward a wild, rebellious journey.
When Noa and Tali’s paths finally cross, they uncover secrets that challenge everything they’ve been taught about The Variety, embarking on a perilous mission that tests their courage and redefines their identities.
“Full of heart, Swimming with the Sun is a cozy dystopian novel where characters thrive in the small moments, challenging their world order with honesty and hope.”
