"The greatest enemy of knowledge is not ignorance, Seren. It is the illusion of knowledge."
For centuries, famine and disease plagued the Earth making it uninhabitable. Now all that remains is Community, a massive bunker built to protect a select population from extinction. Sixteen-year-old Seren Quinn has spent her entire life within these walls, grateful to be part of it and to the Warren family who began it six generations ago.
But Seren's world turns upside down when she learns that her mother is mysteriously pregnant. Under Community's one child population control policy, her mother will be killed after giving birth.
Seren will do anything to save her mother including risk her own life. As Seren searches for a solution she learns Community is not what it seems. They are killing innocent people. A rebellion is stirring. And if that weren't enough, Seren is beginning to fall in love with the very boy she's supposed to hate.
If Seren is going to save her mother, she will have to make a fateful decision: liberation, or love?
