Description
In a dystopian America where the Bill of Rights has been replaced by the Moral Statutes and personal freedoms have been stripped away, seventeen-year-old Ember Miller has learned to survive by keeping her head down and avoiding the military authorities that patrol her world. When her rebellious mother is arrested for violating Article 5, Ember's carefully constructed life of quiet compliance shatters—especially when she discovers that one of the arresting officers is Chase Jennings, the boy she's never stopped loving. Forced to navigate a dangerous landscape of government surveillance, secret resistance movements, and impossible choices, Ember must decide whether to accept her new reality or risk everything to fight back. Kristen Simmons crafts a gripping exploration of freedom, identity, and resistance in this haunting debut that questions what we're willing to sacrifice for those we love.
