Casey's Journey - The Legacy

C.J. Wilson

Set in a dystopian future where the Crumpt dynasty has transformed the U.S. presidency into a hereditary rule, this gripping sci-fi saga follows the struggle for truth, survival, and legacy in a world divided by power and deception. Under the authoritarian grip of Crumpt Jr., the elite Calberras have fortified their dominance, creating walled cities that separate the privileged from the struggling masses.

As Casey works within a government-controlled lab, she begins to uncover secrets that could reshape society or bring about her downfall.
 
Blending science fiction, family legacy, and societal commentary, the series delves into themes of loyalty, deception, and survival in a world teetering on the edge of transformation.
