A run-down city, an ancient power, three teens, and a stranger whose come to change it all. Preso City Beat, the first entry in the Indigo Horizon series, introduces readers to the world of Esfera Verde. How it came to be, the mysteries that tie it, an ancient calamity, and our heroes together will begin to be uncovered as we explore the city through the eyes of our three young protagonists.
Eren Lastame is an athlete driven to obsession trying to make the elite Treball team; a sport in which anyone, even poverty-stricken immigrants can rise to the top. Davy Ortega, noted nerd and friend of Eren's, is busy desperately cramming for his final exams, and Joost... well, Joost just wants to scrape up some coin.
Their lives are changed forever after a visit from a mysterious stranger, and an attack on their home that can only come from their territory's advanced neighbors to the north. Conflict, always simmering, is set to boil. All three become tangled in the world-spanning goals of this figure, discover their connection to the mysteries of how it came to be, the dark nature of the power that fuels it, and ultimately its fate.
Indigo Horizon is a multi-part, young adult, soft sci-fi adventure meant for inquisitive readers who enjoy world building and fleshed out power systems. Those who pick apart every detail, and how our characters' motivations interact with them will find a satisfying breadcrumb trail that peels back the mysteries one layer at a time.
The book explores themes of dystopian power, chasing one's dreams beyond reason, and the meaning of friendship in a torn-apart world. Our characters struggle against inequality, drive to better themselves in the face of impossible odds, and try to work out where they fit in the Man in White's grand puzzle as the mysteries of the world of Esfera Verde are slowly revealed.
