The Division Act: A Near-Future Dystopian Thriller

When the country can’t pay its bills anymore, it doesn’t cut spending. It cuts people.
In East Texas, Ethan and Skye Palmer are already living the collapse: rent spikes, grocery math, and a future that keeps shrinking. Then the President signs The Division Act, a “solution” that redraws America along the Mason-Dixon line, splitting the nation into the Southern Productivity Compact and the Northern Care Coalition. Relocation begins within ninety days. Implementation begins now.
The catch is simple and brutal: your life is decided by a wristband. Merit scores, work history, compliance. The trackers that once felt like a harmless wellness perk become a mandatory sorting system, and the line on the map starts cutting straight through families.
Skye and Ethan are provisionally classified South. Across the country, Skye’s brother Payton, and his friend Aiden, wake up on the other side of the new world. One side promises stability. The other promises opportunity. Both demand obedience.
Division Act is a near-future dystopian thriller about how fast “reasonable” policies become permanent, and what it costs to stay whole when a system is built to separate you.
In this book you’ll find:

• Mandatory Merit scoring that quietly becomes social control
• A country split into two competing Americas, with one thin line between them
• Families and friendships tested by classification, relocation, and surveillance
• Fast pacing, escalating tension, and multiple viewpoints inside the Divide
