The Story

Humanity abandoned the sun.

Now they live in vertical megacities called Stacks, sealed beneath a dome that blocks the sky. Harsh artificial Edisun Lights burn constantly overhead. No shadows. No dreams. No memory of what came before.

Wesley Farrow works the air systems in Stack 5—the lowest level, where no one asks questions. But when he uncovers secrets the Partisant regime has buried, he faces a choice: stay safe in the light, or step into the darkness where truth still lives.

Behind the Sunshade is a dystopian serial novel released scene by scene. Christian speculative fiction exploring faith, oppression, and humanity's longing for what it cannot name.
