Utopia Falls
by Kody Boye
Genre:
YA Science Fiction
Society
has reached its peak within the walled city of Utopia. While the
outside world lies in inhospitable ruins, the city within brims with
technological marvels—all thanks to a benevolent god that appeared
during humanity’s darkest hour. But with the city on the verge of
overpopulation, and the world outside not promised to be safe, time
is running out for the Utopian people, and it’ll take one brave
young woman to change the course of history.
Seventeen-year-old
Ember Hillen has lived in the shadow of the god her entire life. With
a promising future in medicine, she believes that her future is set
in stone. What she doesn’t expect is for her Aptitude Test scores
to come back with exemplary remarks—or to be chosen as her city’s
next Holy Conduit.
As
the Holy Conduit, Ember can connect with, and receive visions of, her
god’s desires for the Utopian city. The only problem? Her god is
implying that her people must somehow journey beyond their isolated
city to build a new world in the wasteland. But with the mad leader
of the premier engineering facility within Utopia attempting to sway
Ember through whatever means possible, Ember must make a choice that
will change a life forever. The only question is: can she withstand
the storm that will follow?
