They promised safety. The Keepers forgot to mention the cost.
Aegis is the last shining city in a ruined world, guarded by towering walls and ruled by an all-seeing AI known as the Keepers. Inside, every choice is monitored, every risk erased, every life carefully contained.
Chloe has always felt the cage behind the glass.
Restless and drawn to the forbidden edges of the city, she chases thrills the Keepers can't predict and hoards scraps of the world that came before. But when a stranger with rebel secrets crashes into her carefully controlled life, Chloe is thrust into a deadly game of surveillance, lies, and whispered promises of freedom beyond the walls.
As Aegis tightens its grip, cracks appear in everything she's been taught to trust-including herself. Strange abilities surface when she's under pressure, and the Keepers seem a little too interested in what she might become. Torn between loyalty to the only home she's ever known and the rebels who claim the Keepers are hiding the truth, Chloe is forced to question whether she's a weapon, a threat, or something far more dangerous.
The more she uncovers, the more one thing becomes clear: in a city built on control, even thinking about escape is treason.
And Chloe can't stop wondering what waits on the other side of the wall.
Perfect for readers who love:
fearless teen heroines who question everything
AI-controlled cities, drones, and high-tech surveillance
rebellion, found family, and slow-burn sparks under fire
If you devoured The Hunger Games, Divergent, or The Maze Runner, step beyond the walls of Aegis and discover what the Hive is truly hiding.
