The Hunger Games meets Divergent in this epic first book in the GEOS trilogy.
Humanity is on the brink of extinction. After being nearly wiped out by a deadly virus, Earth's population was saved only by the genius of Farrow Corp. Now, the scientists in Farrow's Labs work tirelessly to search for a cure to the genetic plague that has left the remaining population hiding below ground.
Underground survival in the GEOs is dark and highly controlled—an existence Tylia will do anything to escape, especially when her mother begins to suffer from the ravages of an illness. There is one answer: the Acceptance Trials. If she survives, she'll guarantee her and her family a home in the Labs, and a renewed life for her mother.
But the world Above is vastly different from what she's been led to believe. When Tylia is rescued from the jaws of death during the trials by a handsome stranger, and discovers that Farrow Corp's security forces are hunting her, everything she once believed about humanity's chances for survival are flipped on their head.
Turns out, surviving the virus may be the least of Tylia's concerns...
