2152

For as long as anyone can remember, the System has watched over humanity.

It governs the City, regulates resources, and maintains the fragile balance that keeps society alive. Most people trust it completely. Nika has never had a reason not to.

Born into Wall, she expects her future to be as predictable as everyone else's.

Then a series of small anomalies begins to draw her attention. Questions that nobody seems willing to ask.

As her curiosity pulls her deeper into secrets hidden beneath the surface of her world, Nika finds herself crossing paths with Rowan, a young man whose loyalty to the System appears unshakable.

The more their lives become intertwined, the harder it becomes to separate truth from belief, duty from choice, and trust from something far more dangerous.

Because some answers can change a person.

And some truths can change an entire civilization.
