Publisher's Synopsis
When technology fulfills every dream, reality is a nightmare. But where can one rebel hide when even her thoughts might not be her own?
Below the streets of New State, the Grounders fight to remain free of the technological control of the world above. When dusk falls, Wren risks her life by entering the capital city as a raider to secure resources for the rebellion. Each step further inside puts her life in jeopardy from New State's deadliest weapons - Phantoms. More machine than human, tortured until devoid of emotion and caring, Phantoms have only one objective. Kill. And they do it with exacting precision.
Wren is good at her job as a raider and committed to the cause until she meets Codex, a New State citizen who doesn't quite fit her preconceived expectations. After a couple of awkward encounters, he shows her the meaning of hooking up-a computer simulation that allows people to live out their fantasies-without the complication of emotional entanglements or physical reality. But what Wren feels for Codex is very real. And it's punishable by death.
As she and Codex grow closer, Wren convinces him to leave New State for the underground. But unrest between New State and the Grounders escalates, and Phantoms move in to destroy her world. Nothing goes as Wren planned. Families are arrested, loyalties are strained, and Wren's forced to choose between her people and her feelings. The wrong choice could mean the end of her people, and reality could slip away-forever...

- ★★★★★ Enjoyable & Innovative Novel - Enjoyable Sci-Fi Romance that I highly recommend....5 stars. Overall, novel was well-paced, characters are well-developed, and story is detailed but not too verbose. Although the relationship that emerges between [Codey] and [Wren] is predictable, it did not feel forced or rushed. - Janine
