Author Jasleen A. has announced a new political fantasy series titled 'Nothing Sacred Remains,' scheduled for publication in late 2026. The series unfolds within a rigid political structure where authority is hereditary and vigorously defended, following characters shaped by the regime as they navigate allegiances and a desire for dominance. The narrative examines how love, personal ambition, and conviction intersect as governmental control intensifies and opposition becomes perilous.
Each installment of the series will be set in a different historical era while consistently investigating core ideas of power dynamics and ideological conflict. The author's professional background in policy and strategy, including work as a management consultant for international firms like McKinsey and L.E.K., informs the exploration of institutional frameworks within the story. This experience provides a foundation for scrutinizing how political orders shape human experience, loyalty, and resistance across time.
Jasleen A. brings a diverse career spanning literature, policy, and film. A former Rhodes Scholar pre-finalist, she is the author of a book honored by the Prudential Community Spirit Awards. Her screenwriting has earned accolades at numerous film festivals, including the Bengaluru International Short Film Festival, Jaipur International Film Festival, and Venice Shorts. This new series represents her first venture into the political fantasy genre, synthesizing her longstanding focus on governance, belief systems, and the personal toll exacted by political structures.
The announcement highlights a growing intersection between speculative fiction and rigorous political analysis. By applying insights from institutional strategy and policy advisory to a multi-volume fantasy narrative, the project aims to scrutinize the mechanisms of power and the consequences of dissent. The series' thematic depth is expected to resonate with readers interested in how political orders shape human behavior and the enduring human costs of ideological rigidity and the struggle for control within societies.
