Book Summary

“Unity was what created Atlantis, yet we’ve never been so divided.”

....

The civil war has shaken the nation to its very core. Nothing will ever be the same again. The Northerners and Southerners are more separate than ever before, the Ranking system is manipulating the everyday lives of citizens, and people are being killed every day.

Total unrest.

And to add to it, a revolution is looming over the horizon.

Omi Dara Olaina has always played by the rules, stood in line, only spoken when spoken to. As an Infra, she figures that’s the only way she can live life inconspicuously.

But when she discovers that her sister is involved in the revolution, she opens her eyes for the first time and sees that her people are suffering, really suffering.

And when a serious protest leads to two close friends being taken hostage, her delicate world spurs out of control.

She realizes she must find them.

She must go to the Surface.

She must save her people.

She has to do something.

Because she’s stayed silent for too long. Stayed asleep for too long.

And now is the time to wake up.
