The Girl Who Walked Through the Sun is a 56,000 word dystopian novel for Young Adults set after the worst effects of climate change. The world has turned to desert and only one society remains. Known as the Hive, it was created by their ruler Father a thousand years ago. Inside its protective walls he has carried out a bold and ruthless experiment. He has extended his own life by centuries; he has abolished love, hope and sexual desire; he has created a monstrous breeding factory, an army of workers ignorant of their own mortality, and a class of frivolous pleasure seekers known as Children.

Zah, a fourteen year old Child, is on the cusp of womanhood. Strange new desires are stirring within her - powerful emotions she does not understand. For her own safety she must master them and accept the limitations of the Hive. Then, one day, she learns that a female worker from the caves - known as 361 - has escaped and is running wild. She finds herself irresistibly drawn to the fate of 361 whose miraculous transformation inspires hope. While the inhabitants of the Hive hunt her down, Zah risks great danger by hiding 361, and through her finds new meaning in life and discovers the greatest lies of their age.
