Explora Books Releases Trailer for Sanctuary by Karen East

A Journalist's Dangerous Search for Truth Leads to the Last Free Place on Earth: A Sovereign Native American Reservation.

Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, 11th Dec 2025 - Tired of futuristic stories that feel too familiar? Sanctuary by Karen East delivers something different. This high-stakes, resonant thriller offers an unexpected twist: the ultimate free society isn't a shining metropolis but a sovereign Native American reservation that has fully disengaged from modern technology. And with a compelling book trailer set to release soon, readers will soon get a first look into this world.

The year is 2040. The United States is governed by an unyielding Department of Homeland Security, the air is toxic, history is censored, and citizens are constantly watched. Janet Ryan, a young journalist forced into rewriting state propaganda, is desperate to uncover the truth DHS has erased. Her search drives her to join a clandestine resistance group--risking her career, freedom, and life.

Her mission takes her to the Lac Courte Oreilles Reservation in northern Wisconsin, where the novel redefines the meaning of freedom. Decades earlier, the Anishinaabe (Ojibwe) community made a radical choice: they unplugged from electricity, internet, and federal dependence. The results were profound--environmental recovery, cultural resurgence, and complete sovereignty. It became the last truly self-sufficient sanctuary on the continent.

Janet is tasked with interviewing "Old Woman" (Rachel Anderson), an elder activist whose memories of life before the current regime hold the key to the buried truth DHS is desperate to suppress. The narrative interweaves Janet's dangerous journey with Rachel's history--particularly her flight from government harassment in the 1990s, which ultimately led her to this community. The interview becomes more than a journalistic mission; it becomes a matter of survival.

Sanctuary is more than a thriller--it's an incisive examination of Indigenous sovereignty, environmental collapse, and the essential value of uncensored history. And with the official book trailer launching soon, readers will soon be able to experience a visual preview of the tension, worldbuilding, and atmosphere that define the novel.

Karen East is a retired marriage and family therapist. She worked with several Midwest tribes. She has two children, a grandson, and four great-grandchildren.

Don't wait to discover the truth. Sanctuary is available on Amazon and other major booksellers nationwide. About Explora Books
