Description
Winner of OneBookTwo 2017 Standout Award and hailed as ‘a masterpiece of dystopian fiction’ by fans.
From the moment you are
born, you are conditioned to know this truth: Unorthodoxy is wrong action,
Heterodoxy is wrong thought. One will lead to your Detention. The other to your
Execution.
Two generations after the Execution of Kane 148
and Otpor's return to Orthodoxy, the Resistor's legacy still lingers.
In this future, post-apocalyptic Paris,
forbidden murals are appearing on crumbling concrete walls – calling citizens
to action. Calling for Resistance.
When Kane's former protege, Anaiya 234, is selected
for a high-risk undercover mission, Otpor is given the chance it needs to
eliminate the Heterodoxy and Anaiya the opportunity she craves to erase a
shameful past.
But the mission demands an impossible sacrifice
– her identity.
While the growing rebellion will change the
utopian lives of all Otpor's citizens, for Anaiya it will change who she is. As
the risk of violence escalates and every decision is fraught with betrayal,
will Anaiya's fractured identity save her or condemn her?
Advance Praise
“In this brilliantly written dark dystopian, readers meet two sides of Anaiya 234 – and discover her mission will forever change her identity. This is a fast-paced read full of creative world-building, complex characters, and vivid writing.” Kat Mandu, OneBookTwo
“In the post apocalyptic wastelands of France, one nation-state remains vigilant against a dying world... Resistance isn't like other dystopian novels you've read... Highly recommended to fans of dystopian fiction such as George Orwell's 1984 and Huxley's Brave New World. The novel also reminded me of the video games République and the post-Paris cyberpunk adventure, Remember Me in setting and tone. But none of these other works do the novel justice: in Resistance, Indie author Mikhaeyla Kopievsky manages to create fresh and new dystopia worth exploring.” Adam S., Edge of Infinity
“As I got sucked deeper into this well realized beautiful world, I realized the book is an interesting mix of dystopian setting layered on with a science-fictional society... I loved the ideas in the book, no two ways about it. They are original and ambitious - and despite being a debut, the quality of the writing has the assured aplomb of a seasoned writer... Mikhaeyla's society is convincing and the setting of this post-apocalyptic Paris where drugs, sex and night life spill out into the streets full of izakaya bars is utterly arresting... A book that would appeal to fans of dystopia (Think 1984, George Orwell) Resistance is an utterly thought-provoking and subversive book in this genre - Highly entertaining, poignant and brutal by shades, Divided Elements is an original novel, pushing the boundaries of this genre - and Mikhaeyla is surely a writer to watch out for.” Sachin Dev, author of ‘Faith of Nine’
“After reading almost every YA dystopian and post-apocalyptic book I could get my hands on between the ages of 13 and 18, I thought I was done with the genre. It was slowing down and there wasn't anything that really stuck out as being new conceptually (except for Partials, really) and if it was a new concept that hadn't been done before (or been overdone), it wasn't written very well and the world building was lacking. And then I saw Resistance ... Everything in this book was masterfully done and after finishing it, I was left in a little bit of a shock.” N.Mccard, Goodreads reviewer
