Publisher's Synopsis
The Line is a city unlike any other - a sprawling, 100-mile-long marvel of technology designed to protect humanity and restore a ravaged planet. For over a century, The Line has been humanity's last refuge. Governed by the all-seeing artificial intelligence, Eos. Inside, life is orderly, controlled, and safe. Beyond its mirrored walls, the world is nothing but a scorched wasteland. Leila Ferris had never truly questioned The Line's purpose, until she discovered something that shouldn't exist. A single, curling vine, growing where no unintended life should be. A whisper of something beyond the city's control. When her search for answers leads her to a buried secret, she is faced with an impossible truth - one that The Line was built to keep hidden. Leila is drawn beyond the walls, but what awaits her is nothing like the wasteland she was promised. As she unravels the truth about The Line and the intelligence that rules it, she becomes a catalyst for a battle far greater than herself - one that will determine the future of both humanity and the planet it once abandoned. Because somewhere in the dark, something has been waiting. And not everything lost was meant to be found.
