New Psychological Dystopian Novel Shattered Minds Explores Power, Trauma, and the Cost of Survival
Set in a fractured world where control is currency and survival requires moral compromise, Shattered Minds follows characters who must navigate systems built to break them mentally, emotionally, and ethically. As loyalty is tested and identities fracture, the novel explores how trauma changes power, how silence can be used as a weapon, and how resistance often comes at a high cost.

Blending psychological tension with dystopian intensity, Shattered Minds is not a fast-paced action thriller. Instead, it offers a slow, deliberate look at the consequences of authoritarian control, internalized fear, and the choices people make when their autonomy is taken away.
"This story is about what survives when everything else is taken," says co-author Alicia Rice. "Not just governments or societies-but people, relationships, and the parts of ourselves we fight to protect."
Jon Senn adds, " Shattered Minds doesn't offer easy heroes or clean victories. It asks readers to sit with discomfort and consider how power actually operates-especially in moments where doing nothing becomes a decision of its own."
