Blurb / Description:
In a world ruled by an all-controlling AI, humans are born stripped of their dreams, emotions, and freedom. Each sixteen-year-old receives a "Mark" - a symbol that dictates the rest of their lives: Builders wield hammers, Engineers follow clocks, Artists hold quills, and Protectors bear shields. Those without Marks, the Markless, are hunted and feared - rebels whispered about but never seen.
Fifteen-year-old Laira has always lived a quiet life under the watchful eyes of her family. But when nightmares of blood, cold floors, and a man with steel-gray eyes begin to haunt her sleep, she realizes something in her world is deeply wrong. Memories she can't place, feelings she can't name, and secrets lurking just beyond her understanding begin to unravel her safe life.
With danger closing in and the system leaving no room for mistakes, Laira must navigate a world where every choice is controlled - and every truth is hidden. Dreams, danger, and destiny collide. Will she follow the Mark she's given... or risk everything to find the truth?
