After a deadly virus wipes out billions of people, the rest of the world lives inside thick fortifications of glass. In these domes the citizens are saved from the poisonous air, toxic water, and worse, the Dwellers, mutated humans with razor sharp teeth and deadly saliva. The only ones allowed outside of the domes are the sentinel, to ensure the safety of the ones inside.Adoni Rathborne has lived her 17 years in Arada, the largest region that cultivates food for most of the regions. She despises being locked inside under the dome's thick walls and the sentinel's ever-watchful stares. Waring with her unacceptable outbursts of emotions, she must keep her head down and obey. Or suffer the consequences. Or more horribly, her weak twin sister who is subjugated to Adoni's harsh punishments. Girls who have turned 17 and boys who have turned 19 eagerly await their Token day, a day when the almighty Sovereign, the govern, picks where they will move and live. Only, on the day their token is to light up in their forearm, giving them the ability to scan for rations, food, and water, Adoni's arm doesn't light up with a color or token she has ever seen.The same night, her sister Alexis is taken in the Sovereign's Giving, and the sentinel is shooting citizens and anyone who has the green token. Adoni is hunted and she doesn't know why. The only person who can offer help is Rhys Creed, a boy in black that she saw through the glass dome days before. How was he outside without blistering skin? Where did he come from and can he do what he promises, help Adoni get to Verse, the Sovereign's capital, to save her sister?On her journey, Rhys tells Adoni that the green token has a larger meaning. To fight against the Sovereign and their murderous design, something she has questioned for as long as she can remember.Adoni doesn't want to fight. Nothing matters more than getting to her sister. But after running in the rain and swimming in rivers, traversing mountain ranges, and carefully making their way through cities filled with dwellers, will Adoni be able to fight or even reach her sister, when her own survival is hanging on a thread?
