**In a perfect world, feeling is a disease. Elara is about to become the cure.**

In the gleaming, sterile city of the future, every citizen is guaranteed a life of placid contentment thanks to a daily, emotion-suppressing serum. For Elara, an artist in a world without passion, this perfect existence is a gilded cage. Haunted by vibrant dreams of a world she's never known, she feels a dangerous chaos stirring within her-a chaos her own brother, a rising star in the ruling World Council, is determined to medicate away.

Driven by a forbidden memory, Elara discovers a relic of the past: a library. Within it, a hidden journal reveals the secret history of their world and the legend of the Heartstone, an artifact with the power to reawaken the human soul.

To find it, she must abandon everything she has ever known and escape into the untamed wilderness beyond the city's walls. But the Council doesn't let its citizens go easily. As Elara fights for survival in a world of breathtaking beauty and terrifying danger, she is hunted by the one person she can't bear to face: her own brother, who believes he is saving her from madness.

**To reclaim humanity's stolen heart, she must first embrace the beautiful, chaotic feelings that could tear her apart. *The Shimmer of a Gilded Cage* is the first book in a riveting new dystopian series.
