The Unhealing Shore

In the shadow of the Supreme Court of Calidonia's ruling in Maris v. Viseck, a judicial bar strips courts of power to review facts underlying "discretionary" surrogacy agreements. On the private island of Arcadia, impoverished women trafficked from the failing state of Moksulia are kept as breeding vessels for the wealthy. The story follows Lena, a survivor who can never forget the children torn from her, Elias, a grieving lawyer watching the law uphold her violation, and Ivy, a journalist whose discovery of the truth brands her own soul with an unhealing wound. Told with Meyer Levin's unflinching moral gravity, this is a chronicle of systemic cruelty and the irreversible fracture of the human spirit, where justice exists only as an unreachable shore.
