Without Pandora's Box

Alyssa is a product of the Society; the only city left on what remains of Planet Earth. She has spent the first sixteen years of her life learning, training, and conditioning herself for life inside of a city based on perfection. Only the best stay in, and the rest get out. Her life has been nothing more than a competition to see who will get the coveted spots as a citizen of this perfect world. Failure means expulsion from the city walls, and death in the vast nothingness that makes up the rest of the planet.

With citizenship finally within her grasp, Alyssa finds herself ensnared within the scheme of a rebel resistance, learning and seeing things that she was never supposed to know. Threatened with expulsion, she'll do anything to have the slate wiped clean, so the Society offers her a single chance at redemption.

Now, she must find the rebels, the few survivors that managed to make a life outside of the Society, and bring them back for rehabilitation before they can start a revolution. But the resistance is nothing like she could have ever expected; and piece by piece, the world begins to come crumbling down.

How far would you go for perfection?
