Dawn

Take the blind leap and fall into true love, even if you fall to it means your death.
Over a century ago, God's United Reich, a tyrannical religious ideology, conquered the American Republic, transforming it into a holy utopia. The heart of this oppressive regime is the Divine Leader and his unwavering military force called the NiBorr, which demands unquestioning obedience from its flock.
Leon Grady has the perceived holy life: he's the star of his high school baseball team and is surrounded by adoring friends and a family who love him, all while dating the girl next door. Yet, deep inside, he knows he can never really be happy because of who he is and what his heart wants. He must hide the truth behind towering walls or risk being cleansed on the church steps.
Despite the possibility of his death, his heart craves to be free. A still, small voice urges Leon to forsake everything when the reigning divine leader passes in order to take a leap of faith and fall into true love when Theodore Dawn enters his life.
In pursuit of happiness, Leon and Theodore must navigate the complexities of their emotions for the other, with the understanding that if they are exposed, it will result in their deaths by the commander of NiBorr, Leon's Father.
