Seven Evils

Massive rains fell, and flood waters forced us up to our new mountain home in Sector Seven. What was long ago beautiful Hensley Settlement in the Cumberland Mountains would become a place of harsh cruelness and evil silence.

Amia and others living in Sector Seven, a dystopian, tyranny civilization atop a Cumberland Gap mountain in what was an 1800s settlement, move daily through a suppressed life constantly threatened by violence from Demyan soldiers of this new America. Citizens serve the sole purpose of providing and sustaining through farming, woodworking, and other necessary trades but without real reason or purpose. Stifled emotions and voices move about robotically, but one young woman slowly discovers the thrill and need to push the limits to create change for better life on the mountain for all.

Persuaded by her new companions, Amia tests boundaries by breaking strict rules and discovering that a little courage can crack the Demyans' strong, stern rule.

The friends test the soldiers by breaking laws, experiencing forbidden enjoyment and joy, and black-mailing Demyan Aeron, which ends with an unexpected ultimate crime, putting the group in undeniable danger and leads to disaster. When hated leader, Itzhak, shows a strange, unique interest in her, Amia uses it as an in to penetrate Sector Seven's government in her mission to free citizens' voices and save a friend. What she doesn't anticipate is her discovery that the mountain home's evil leader isn't all too different from herself, and she grows fond of him despite disapproval from her friends and Sector Seven's citizens.

Amia is determined to have it all by pleasing the citizens and easing Itzhak into agreeing on changes for Sector Seven, and appeasing Itzhak by persuading citizens that he isn't as evil as they had always believed and that good does live within him. But her plan proves more difficult than it seems, and despite his affection and commitment to her, Itzhak's old ways prevail, and the citizen's prove rebellious when the opportunity presents itself, leaving Amia standing in the middle of chaos and uncertainty for Sector Seven.

It is a perilous journey when good teams with evil, and Amia learns quickly that it only takes one warrior finding her voice to make a world of difference.

Seven Evils: Innocent Silence is book one of three of Amia's journey of courage. It explores concepts including Dystopian society; Female Leaders; Evil vs. Good; thriller saga concepts; history and genealogy; and more.
