In a futuristic society ruled by genetics, love is a luxury reserved only for the elite.
When a mysterious mark appears on my skin overnight, my safe, predictable life shatters. Questioning the Consulate is a crime, but ignorance is no longer an option. Thrust into a hidden world of danger, I’m dragged from the sterile compliance of my life straight to the wild, wondrous surface—a place that defies everything I was taught to believe.
Here, I discover intoxicating pleasure, deadly intrigue, and a web of lies that rewrites my understanding of the truth. But my greatest peril isn't the society hunting me—it's the choice between two men: one bound by the caste system, and the other sworn to tear it down.
