The Fault Line

In the Freedom Zone, ambition is everything. Your worth is measured by what you achieve-no more, no less. Here, individual success fuels the future, no matter who gets left behind.

Across the border lies the Unity Zone, a society built on structure, shared responsibility, and collective strength.

Two zones, two conflicting ideologies, one country, and one test that decides your future.

Harper Colloway has spent her whole life chasing her parents' approval, desperate to prove she's worthy of the family name. The Concordance is supposed to be her final chance to earn it-to show that she's worthy of her parents' love.

Instead, it shatters everything.

Sorted into a life she never wanted, Harper must confront the propaganda that she's been raised to believe and must choose between the life she was promised and the one she was never allowed to imagine.
