In a world that has been ravaged by war, arcane technology, and a gross absence of humanity, can hope still spark amidst the ruins?

Young Kristy dreams of a world she's heard of, but has never seen. Guided by Bolt, her enigmatic robot guardian, she questions what lies at the center of the wasteland that's reluctantly become home, a dystopian surveillance state where safety comes at the price of freedom and those outside its walls are considered expendable.

Through intertwining timelines and character perspectives, this short novel explores the fragile bonds humans build, the concessions of truth and survival, and the unwavering power of hope. As Kristy and Bolt navigate their barren world, both of whom are ignorant to its harsh realities, they uncover haunting truths about the City at it's center, truths that could redefine what it means to be human.

Gripping, emotional, and thought-provoking, Those Iron Eyes is a short tale of resilience, morality and the pursuit of truth in a world on the brink of complete collapse.

The majority of this story was written during the middle-school years of the author's life and completed over the course of secondary education. It was picked up by a literature teacher, who took the draft to a conference and conveyed a compelling urge to publish to the author.
