Beneath The Last Light
In the dying city of Gravelight, hope is a dangerous thing. Walled in by fear and control, its people live under constant surveillance, tested, sorted, and discarded when deemed unfit. Beyond those walls lies only the wasteland - the Dead Zones - where monsters and myths are said to roam. No one who's taken ever returns. Seventeen-year-old Avalon Thorne has learned the rules: stay invisible, stay alive, don't ask questions. But when she and her closest friend, Fox, see smoke rising from far beyond the wall - where nothing should burn - something shifts. It's small, fleeting, but undeniable. Proof that maybe the world isn't as dead as they've been told. Soon Avalon, Fox, and their friends - the troublemaking twins Reggie and Riggs, and the quiet, brilliant Kendrick - find themselves tangled in the cracks of a system built on silence and fear. The more they uncover, the harder it becomes to look away... and the more dangerous it is to know the truth. Because in Gravelight, ignorance is survival. And rebellion begins with a single question: What really lies beyond the last light?
