When thinking is a crime, who isn’t a criminal? Liana Castell is a resident of the Tower, where she earns ire for even her rebellious thoughts. But when her ideas start to get a little too radical and she’s sent on the run, she starts discovering secrets the Tower’s forces would rather stay lost.
In the huge, glass-walled Tower, each person’s worth is measured by their usefulness. Monitored by an implant in their skulls, each person is given a rating out of 10 based on their usefulness and loyalty. Threes require drug treatment. Twos are isolated. Ones disappear.
20-year-old Liana sits at a four, despite her parents’ perfect 10s. When her rebellious thoughts push her down to a three, desperation kicks in. She begins following a young man whose cocky dissidence is at odds with the 10 on his wrist. But this path is in no way clear, and a twist sends Liana spiraling into decades’ worth of secrets that she pursues through the dusty corners of the Tower, uncovering more conspiracies over the course of multiple books.
