This Great Hemisphere by Mateo Askaripour
Despite the odds, Candace, a young invisible woman, has done everything right her entire life - school, university, and now a highly sought-after apprenticeship with one of the Northwestern Hemisphere's premier inventors, a non-invisible man belonging to the dominant population who is as eccentric as he is enigmatic. But the world she has fought so hard to build, after the disappearance of her older brother, comes crashing down when authorities claim that not only is he well and alive, he's also the main suspect in the murder of the Chief Executive of the Northwestern Hemisphere. The entire Northwestern Hemisphere is on the hunt for her brother, and Candace needs to find him before it's too late. She sets off on a mission - dodging a relentless law officer who goes to great lengths to maintain order and an ambitious politician with sights set on becoming the next Chief Executive - revealing that those who the world deems powerless are anything but. With the blazing defiance of The Power and the ever-shifting machinations of House of Cards, This Great Hemisphere shows us how reality is often shaped by non-truths and vicious manipulations. In the Northwestern Hemisphere - a world dangerously like our own no one and nothing is ever as it seems.
