In a future post-apocalyptic Paris, a rebellion threatens to upset the city's perfectly-structured balance and plunge its citizens into anarchy. Two generations after the Execution of Kane 148 and Otpor's return to Orthodoxy, forbidden murals are appearing on crumbling concrete walls - calling citizens to action. Calling for Resistance. The murals will change the utopian lives of all citizens. But, for Anaiya 234, they will change who she is. A Peacekeeper of the uncompromising Fire Element, Anaiya free-runs through city's precincts to enforce the Orthodoxy without hesitation or mercy. Her selection for a high-risk mission gives Otpor the chance it needs to bring down the Resistance and Anaiya the opportunity she craves to erase a shameful legacy. But the mission demands an impossible sacrifice - her identity. With this accomplished debut offering, Kopievsky presents a dark dystopian tale with complex characters, exquisite world-building and high tension. Divided Elements (Book 1) - Resistance is a welcomed addition to the intelligent speculative fiction tradition of Philip K. Dick, Margaret Atwood and Rupert Thomson.
