discovery dystopia fantasy friendship hiddentruth revolution

Compliance. To Elonne, this means following all society's rules perfectly, with no room for error or disobedience. It means giving up personal freedoms for the greater good; submitting to all laws and regulations without question. This is the way of life for Elonne, so ingrained in herself that she knows no other way. At least, not until she is shocked by the reappearance of a mysterious figure from her past, who possesses the ability to show Elonne that everything she ever believed is completely wrong. 
It takes years to push people into compliance, but one day is enough to allow doubt to manifest.

Shattered Symmerty by Geminitea26

In Symmetria, a city obsessed with looking perfect while everything underneath is falling apart, the cracks are getting harder to ignore. The leaders? They're more focused on keeping their polished image intact than actually running the place. But chaos is brewing, and guess who's making a comeback? Ravi, the power-hungry dictator with a tighter grip on the city than ever. And trust me, things are about to get messy. Enter Sunaina, a sharp, determined force of nature, and her loyal (but definitely not boring) friends Jenna and Marcus. They're caught in the middle of all this chaos, trying to save Symmetria from Ravi's iron fist, while dealing with the fact that trust is about as rare as a flaw in this so-called perfect city. Betrayal? Oh, it's lurking in every corner, and hidden agendas? They're sprouting like weeds in a manicured garden. The trio needs to figure out who's on their side-and fast-because the clock is ticking. In this city, loyalty is more fickle than the weather, and ambition? Well, that'll lead you straight into disaster if you're not careful. With the cracks in Symmetria's perfect facade getting deeper by the day, the leaders will have to face not just Ravi but also the enemies within their own ranks. As everything unravels, one question remains: How far are they willing to go to protect their "perfect" city? And who can they actually trust when every choice could pull them deeper into chaos-or worse? Buckle up for a wild ride. Power, ambition, and loyalty are about to collide in ways no one saw coming. Because in Symmetria, nothing's as perfect as it seems, and every move could be their last.

Prisoner Thirty-One by MNWelsh

"From this point on you have no Identity. You no longer have a name, you no longer have a family or friends, a house and you no longer have a favorite anything. You will not address anyone and will only be known as prisoner thirty-one from now on. Do you understand?" Feather Morris was raised on self-preservation.

Now that the world knows what she can do, it's up to her to choose whether to wait to die or if she should help three strangers escape.

The Lies We Share ✔ by ckwritten236

"She a coward sitting alone in her room, faceless and nameless among the many others like her. She was the shadow of a "real" girl. Laura felt the tears come, and it felt like forever since they've last truly fallen." We can't control the world but we can control how we react to it. Wise words, but nobody, especially not Laura Cliff, actually cares to follow that mantra. You could call it a character flaw but in her mind, it is unrelenting confidence in her ability to read people. Even if reading people is like talking through a tin can connected by a string that spans 1,000 miles. Relationships, she will learn, are kind of like that. If a drunk aunt and a sober world can't help her see through the lies, who exactly can? In The Lies We Share by Courtney Knight, one girl finds power and love in her daily life. Copyright 2020

The Kingdom in the Trees by Princess_Reads100

In the society of Giovane, youth and perfection are not just valued-they're mandated. At 18, every citizen must marry their predetermined partner, of opposite gender, and ensure the continuation of a new, youthful generation. The rules are simple: - Personal romantic relationships before marriage are prohibited. - Arrive at the Hall of 18 before the time you were born on your 18th birthday. - Any attempt to flee or evade the marriage is strictly prohibited. - Bear children to sustain the societal cycle. However, the darker truth remains unspoken: once all their children are married off, the parents are erased from society, a reality to which children are conditioned to accept from a young age. For Arya Gold, the promise of this ritual was once a distant fantasy. But as her 18th birthday approaches, she faces the harsh reality of a loveless marriage and a future without her family. Fleeing from her fate, Arya discovers a hidden kingdom nestled in the trees, ruled by an enigmatic leader known as the King. In this secret world, she finds refuge-and a potentially dangerous new attraction. As Arya navigates her growing feelings and this new world, she must grapple with her past and embrace the hope of a future she never thought possible.
