In a world smothered by ash and ruled by the cold perfection of The Domes, seventeen-year-old Wren and her younger brother Max survive by three rules: don't stay in one place, don't trust anyone, and never go near the Dome patrols. But when a wounded girl named Auria crashes into their lives, carrying proof that The Domes are not protecting humanity-but harvesting it-Wren's fragile world begins to unravel.
Forced to flee through the ruins toward an abandoned Dome, Wren and Auria uncover the horrifying truth behind The Core Initiative, a machine powered by human lives-including those of Wren's parents. Auria and Wren find a little romance along the way between them as well.
As danger closes in and forbidden feelings ignite between them, Wren must choose between saving her brother, freeing humanity, or holding onto the one person who makes her feel alive in a dying world.
