Sereph

by Morgan Wiegert

By the 24th century, the growing rift between rich and poor has created a double-sided world. To the northeast of the ruined landscape of what was once the United States, seemingly utopian Sereph City remains intact, advanced, and thriving following a series of devastating world wars. But those to the south are not so lucky. Poverty, war, and the effects of environmental destruction make life outside Sereph City and its outlying sectors nearly impossible.

In a world where walls serve not only to defend but also to isolate, Naomi, living in the country's southernmost city, should never have seen Sereph City. Yet she is haunted by her unshakable memories of the place and the physical effects of attempted genetic modification. When she meets someone like her, they begin a dark journey in search of answers--and revenge. Soon enough, the place she has been struggling to forget becomes an unavoidable destination, and every step brings them closer to learning the reality of what happened to them.

Interesting apocalyptic tale

Interesting apocalyptic tale about a bleak future. Simular to Hunger Games and maze runner, with a little genetics manipulation thrown in.
