Beneath the Iron Veil

In the shadow of the Northern Continental Wall, built by the Federated Dominion to quarantine the so-called "Stateless Zone," two families on opposite sides discover an ancient smuggler's tunnel. As drone surveillance intensifies and legal loopholes in the Sanctity of Airspace Act grant the state unchecked power to observe but never intervene, the Varennes of the Dominion and the Krasts of the Zone are drawn into a fatal game of survival smuggling. What begins as a lifeline becomes a labyrinth of betrayal, revealing that the Wall was never meant to keep people out—but to trap something in.
