<p>King's College has a reputation.</p> <p>To Leo, the sharp but cynical rebel, it is a place where the people he cares about are sentenced to a fate worse than death—to live the rest of their days on the surface of a dying Earth.</p> <p>To Morgan, the bright and strict overachiever, it is a vault in which she may find her dreams. And for the brightest six students of King's College, even greater opportunities reside in the legendary Class Euripides.</p> <p>And to Lumia, the newly Ascended girl whose smile never fades, it is a terrifying puzzle just like everything else in the floating city of Plato, the last bastion of humanity.</p> <p>But in a world that is on the brink, a student's hopes and dreams mean little in the fight against an ever-collapsing climate.</p> <p>For those students, for the future saviours of the world, the Educators of King's College offer one lesson—a lesson that must bind them and guide them as they become the last legends of mankind:</p> <p>Burn bright.</p> <p>Huh? What is this?</p> <p>- Low stakes high-school drama</p> <p>- Set in utopia / dystopia during a post-apocalyptic Earth</p> <p>- Students versus systems</p> <p>- Character focused</p> <p>- Heaps of worldbuilding</p> <p>- No fantasy or gaming elements</p> <p>Er, this is weird. What gives?</p> <p>It is! Shadow under Plato is a long, sprawling book that focuses on six students as they navigate school life in a post-apocalyptic world.</p> <p>There are six points of view which bounce around often. The current narrator will be listed at the top of the page or at the start of the section.</p> <p>Expect poetry, unreliable narrators, streams of consciousness, a classroom full of metaphors.</p> <p>I take my time to flesh out the characters, world, and various conflicts. Politics, culture, and philosophical quandaries are heavily explored.</p> <p>However, I never let it get too slow. There's always a new development and something more to learn. The characters are growing and changing in every chapter.</p> <p>Update Schedule</p> <p>Updates every Monday.</p> <p>I'll be working on this story for a long time. However, I'm not working on this exclusively. I have another book in the works.</p> <p>Keep an eye out for Demon's Don't Lie, which I'll be serialising alongside Shadow under Plato very soon!</p>
