Would you dare to feel, knowing it could end the world?
Five centuries after The Cleansing, humanity lives in the sterile perfection of Eden-a world without love, anger, or desire. Sixteen-year-old Lira Vale has never questioned the rules, until a single lie triggers a forbidden emotion. Labeled a "Corruptor," she is swept into a secret underworld where feelings are criminal, memories are weaponized, and rebellion is contagious.
With the System's hunters closing in and the first echoes of a human revolution awakening across Eden, Lira must choose between survival and becoming the voice that will set her world on fire. But when every heartbeat could betray her, how do you remember who you are?
A relentless, emotionally charged dystopian thriller for fans of The Giver, Scythe, and Divergent-where the greatest sin is remembering how to feel.
