All of our major cities have been abandoned.
The old Bill of Rights has been terminated and replaced with the Moral Statutes.
Police officers no longer exist. Instead, there are soldiers. There are no more fines for breaking minor laws - all laws are major. If you break the law, you go through arrests, trials, and that journey always ends with death.
Ember Miller is seventeen - old enough to remember when stealing a candy bar didn't mean a public execution. She loves her mother dearly, so she can't take any risks. If you keep a low profile, the soldiers won't notice you, therefore they probably won't target you next. Most likely.So when her mother gets arrested, Ember's world is shattered. She becomes the government's property because she doesn't have a legal guardian any more. Her life is ripped away by the hinges. And to make things worse, one of the officers that came to arrest her mother is the only boy Ember has ever loved, Chase Jennings. This book is a read that will make your heart pound relentlessly fast until the end.
