More about this book

Story

Cassia lives in a society that assigns nearly every part of life, including work, food, and partners, in the name of safety and order. She expects to be matched with her best friend, but a second face appears and unsettles her certainty.

As Cassia begins to question the system, she is pulled between two boys and between obedience and the possibility of a different life. Poetry, art, and hidden information become part of how she starts to see her world differently.

The story follows her gradual awakening inside a heavily controlled future where even small choices matter. The ending leaves room for larger changes to come, with conflict still building beyond this first book.
