They promised salvation.
They delivered a lie.

What happens when you believe the wrong people?

For the first time in over 300 years, Harper’s village refused to sacrifice its Orphans to the almighty Sovereign—until the gods appeared and took the children by force.

Now, Harper and her friends find themselves in the underground city of Elysium that was only a few miles away the entire time.

And the Sovereign aren’t gods at all.

Harper and her friends must make a choice: return to the surface for a few short years before succumbing to an inevitable illness, or stay in Elysium and help save humanity.

If only they knew that the villagers above have received a chilling new message from the Sovereign, and they will heed it with reckless abandon.

We took what was owed. Repent or pay the price.
