Beyond the Bubble

READ FOR READ!

By the unlikely hands of fate, four lives become intertwined by a deadly disease. Four lives are ripped apart from the world they've always known. Four lives are thrust into the Bubble, a place of isolation. Four lives must fight for freedom or relinquish their survival.

Acentetus is the textbook definition of a utopia. There is no hunger. There is no pain. There is no poverty. People of all different races, ages, and backgrounds coexist peacefully. Everyone is safe. Everyone is healthy. Everyone is happy.

But nothing is ever perfect. Not even Acentetus. The Plague rips through the community, threatening to tear everyone's lives apart.

Acentetus doesn't discriminate.

Neither does the Plague.

The Plague is Acentetus's sole flaw... or so it seems.

After Rosemary Anders, Liam Hunter, Celeste Cheng, and Stellan Willis are diagnosed with the Plague, they are sent to the Bubble to live the rest of their lives. The Bubble is a perfectly crafted microcity designed to quarantine the Plague, protecting those outside from the disease within.

To most, the Bubble is the final paradise. A miniature utopia nested inside an already perfect world.

To Rosemary Anders, the Bubble is a curse. As she sits like a princess, pampered beyond her wildest dreams, her closest friend lies in a coffin, and it's all her fault. She will never be enough.

To Liam Hunter, the Bubble is a test. A test of capability to avenge what he lost. A test unlike any challenge ever faced before.

To Celeste Cheng, the Bubble is a prison. A barrier blocking her from the world she built with her own hands. A reminder that success can be shattered in an instant.

To Stellan Willis, the Bubble is a puzzle. As the unthinkable occurs, he realizes his perfect life is less perfect than he thought.

For four souls, the Bubble is the key to unlocking a secret that will shake Acentetus to its core.
