* Description: Sophie Carroway, the senator’s daughter, wishes her biggest problem was living up to her father’s expectations. It’s not. It’s the secret doomsday cult he leads.
When her best friend vanishes, Sophie is sure the cult is involved—and she’ll do anything to get her friend back, even if it means turning against her father. Instead, she uncovers a lethal plan to turn a catastrophic pandemic into a true apocalypse, with the cult at the helm.
Mason Wetherell avoids the rich‑kid drama at Three Hills Prep—until he’s the last person to see Sophie Carroway’s best friend before she disappears. That same night, he overhears a stark warning: his family needs to get out of town, fast, before the Carroways drag them into the cult’s deadly plan. But when Mason’s dad refuses to run, Mason is forced to ask Sophie for help.
What starts as a sketchy alliance becomes a desperate partnership when the power goes out and Sophie and Mason are trapped inside the cult’s compound. Together, they uncover coded messages, blackmail, kidnapping, violent militia, and murder. Their mission is to stop the cult from taking control and killing thousands.
Caught between dangerous family loyalties and a spark they can’t ignore, Sophie and Mason risk everything to survive—and to expose the truth.
A dark, alternate‑history YA thriller for readers who love dystopian cults, pandemic paranoia, and high‑stakes tension between reluctant allies.
