K. T. BRIGHT

The Brotherhood rebuilt society, but not in a way Áine Radley can embrace. She barely sleeps in her dilapidated high-rise home. Traveling 780 miles an hour in the quiet of the Hyperloop, the world outside is awash in gray. At the Lot, no one touches. No one speaks. The children she teaches become more robotic with every passing year. A daily mantra of "it could always be worse" keeps Áine on her feet. That is, until she meets a strangely familiar, strikingly perfect dark-eyed man, and sees firsthand how much worse life can be. Following him into the Lion's den, where felons fight one-on-one to the death, Áine must quell fears she never knew existed and find beauty in the last place expected —to truly survive.
