Ava Rhodes has always dreamed about living a simple life. One that includes freedom to make her own choices. She'd even settle for a brief holiday from her oppressive obligations. But that's not the way things work inside the Los Angeles City Center. Not when you're a top Successor Candidate for Queen. The only way to break free is to leave the city, but that's impossible. There's no foreseeable way out and it's far too dangerous on the Outside. Or so they've been told by the city's leader, Chief Morray. When Ava learns from a rebel that everything about her city is a lie, she escapes to the Outside. Now she's on the run in an unknown world with a stranger, and Chief Morray is obsessively hunting her down. She discovers an even more gruesome truth about the city center and if she doesn't return to save her people, she might lose them forever. This thrilling young adult sci-fi series follows Ava Rhodes as she fights against Chief Morray to save her people from his maniacal new agenda to control all human life.
