Magic and Other Ways to Incite Rebellion

In a world where everything was perfect, would you want to leave? What if that perfect world didn't include your friends and family?

Imagine a dystopia where everything was chosen for you, and you are punished severely for even thinking of veering from course- your government is your life.

Daniella lived in this world. She wore what they wanted her to, said what they wanted her to, ate what they wanted her to, and even lived with the strangers they wanted her to. She followed their rules even after her brother and parents were cruelly ripped from her life, and didn't complain even once.

Until she finds her brother.

Why is everyone acting so secretive? And what is going on with all of the strange occurrences that seem almost... magical?

And what does the government have to do with all this?
