How many more will die as temperatures drop, causing contamination breaches to become the norm and rendering the air unbreathable?
Decades after a nuclear explosion wiped out most of the population, society rebuilds in five blocs: fabricator, worker, teacher, doctor, ruler.
Loch, a thinker who never fit into any of the blocs, has lived in the wilderness for two years after getting banished for asking too many questions. His mission: find information that will prove there’s a better way to live. Tia, one of only four doctors, struggles with following the rules after her best friend died. With the power to make the life-saving immunizations, she still can’t do anything about the control that tells her who can receive a boost. Her mission: prevent as many deaths as possible.
When the two of them run into each other over an abandoned apple, a connection is made that won’t soon be broken. Together, they will see to overthrowing Supreme Ruler Lionel, the vile leader. But along the way, they’re bound to discover Tia’s father is also involved in the corruption that goes far deeper than they even imagined.

About the author
Elle Ann Brown
13 books25 followersElle (Leslie) Ann Brown is an Inspirational Romance writer residing in the great state of Texas--though she doesn't own a horse, cowboy gear, or listen to country music--who loves to love. She deeply loves her husband of twenty years, her four children, and her friends. She also loves to sing, play bass guitar & piano, lattes any time of the day, sweets and more sweets, summer nights, laughing until she cries, and food with more calories than the daily suggested limit.
Though she enjoyed writing through school and online blogs in short form, Elle didn't discover her love of reading until her early thirties. Since 2018, she has released six full-length novels, a novella, and two short stories. Though the exact genres may vary, the overall arc of her writing is sweet love stories wrapped in inspirational fiction.
**A note about my reviews. Once a cheerleader, always a cheerleader. I post reviews primarily to celebrate other authors and their accomplishments. As an author, I know how much work it takes to write a book and then do even more work to get it into readers’ hands. Because of this, I will rarely rate anything less than a 4-star. If you are looking for detailed reviews, you won’t find them from me, but don’t worry: they are all over the place from others. On behalf of authors everywhere, thank you for taking the time to review. It helps us more than you know!

I’m a sucker for a good dystopian story and this one had such a captivating plot that I couldn’t put the book down until I devoured every last word. And it left me hungry for more! It’s definitely going to be another Elle book I reread again in the future because I enjoyed it so much.
Although this was such a different genre from Elle’s previous novels, her knack for storytelling translated beautifully in her latest masterpiece. Please give your fans more of this magic!

Suspense…a love triangle…crazy plot twists. This book has it all! This book will have you on your edge of your seat! Once you pick it up, you won’t want to put it down.
Definitely recommend giving it a read especially if you are into dystopias. I love the fact that the story is told from two perspectives so as the reader you know the whole story but the characters don’t which adds to the excitement!
Also the butt scene is my fav!! Couldn’t help but laugh out loud!

Having read other books by this author, I was excited to read her latest offering!
While the genre is very different than her other books, I found the story compelling and enjoyed it very much.
