Inhaltsangabe

They told us the surface would kill us in minutes.
Seventeen-year-old Fin has spent her life mining in underground tunnels, believing the radiation above means instant death for dwellers like her. The Enhanced Human Coalition feeds and houses them in exchange for backbreaking labor, all while promising protection from the deadly world above.

But when Fin steals a mysterious device during a botched heist, everything she believes begins to crumble. The tech doesn't just give her superhuman abilities. It makes her question everything the EHC has told them about the world above.

Now she's marked for death, her new powers making her a threat the Coalition can't ignore. With her found family of loyal friends and an unlikely surface-world ally, Fin faces an impossible choice: stay buried in the tunnels with the lies she's always known, or lead a desperate rebellion to discover what's really waiting on the surface.

Some truths are worth dying for. Others might kill you just for knowing them.

Perfect for fans of Suzanne Collins and readers who crave dystopian resistance stories. Start the complete six-book series that follows Fin's journey from underground slave to surface revolutionary.

Reseña del editor

What if the sky was deadly?

Fin has never stepped foot on the surface of the Earth. Working the mines, deep below, has been the only life she's ever known. The underground is nothing more than an existence of sweat and monotony in service to the Enhanced Human Coalition—the genetically-modified who control the underground from the world above. Every Dweller underground understands that you serve the EHC up top, or you don't eat.

Two hundred years after the planet's magnetic poles began to flip, Earth's surface has become irradiated and unsustainable. As the land, water, and even the air grew toxic, the underprivileged were doomed to a life of hard labor underground, while the Enhanced Human Coalition on the surface enjoy their spoils.

But now, Fin and her friends discover a stolen piece of EHC tech that modifies genetics, giving them the abilities of those up top—varied levels of increased strength, intelligence, and adaptation to the surface's harsh conditions. The theft of this technology triggers a manhunt, forcing them to flee to the most dangerous place they could possibly go... aboveground.

Can she save a world broken in two?

Fans of The Maze Runner, Configured, and Influence will devour this fast-paced, innovative sci-fi adventure.
