Choose your retailer
About the book
In the Valta, no matter what month you were born, everyone is assigned the same birthday. November 1st. It's the anniversary of the day when the government declared war on the Eastern Order.
The day you turn seventeen, the Recruiters come to take you away. And no one ever hears from you again.
It's October 31st. Today, Kress is sixteen years old.
Tomorrow, she'll be taken.
The good news? So will her best friend Cardyn, and Brohn, the handsome, enigmatic boy she's avoided all her life.
The bad news?
Recruitment isn't what any of them expected.
Weeks of training await. Military and psychological tests, escape rooms, hand-to-hand combat. The Recruits are told they're the key to winning the war. But with each day that passes, things begin to make less sense.
If only Kress had been able to bring her trained raven, Render, with her.
If only none of them had ever had to come to this place.
For fans of The Hunger Games and Divergent.

Silo 42: Deception
Dystopian
Our take
Silo 42 thrives where others conform, defying the Pact’s rigid rules. But Silo 1 is watching, and its leader sees 42’s success as a threat. As tensions rise, Ahotay Lathrop must protect 10,000 lives by outsmarting the system—or risk total erasure from the grid. Survival hinges on rebellion, but can Silo 42 escape extinction?
Choose your retailer
About the book
Silo 42 is thriving in a way it was never meant to. In a world of 50 isolated silos, each believing they are humanity’s last hope, conformity to the Pact—the original plan set by the builders—is absolute. But Silo 42 has rewritten the rules, embracing creativity, freedom, and innovation, allowing its people to flourish.
Donald Keene, Head of Silo 1, sees this anomaly as a threat. The data from Silo 42 shows they are either thriving or dangerously destabilizing, and neither is acceptable. His solution? Enforce the Pact, even if it means wiping Silo 42 off the grid.
Ahotay Lathrop, Silo 42’s leader, knows their survival depends on outsmarting Silo 1. Can they defy the Pact and secure the future for 10,000 lives—or will conformity crush them?
