Eli knows corruption runs deep within the compound. It’s a reality he’s forced to confront every year on Bid Day. But when your job is to go out into the radiation-soaked Fringe so that others can live in peace, you don’t ask too many questions.
For Harper, the bid system works just fine. She’s the best developer in her year, and she’s confident she’ll find a place among the wealthy, respected Systems workers. But when an upset in the bidding changes the course of Harper’s future, she’ll be forced to rely on an unlikely ally – dark, unreadable Eli Parker.
In her search for answers, Harper will learn that in the compound, the truth doesn’t set you free. It gets you killed.

Eli and Harper are stubborn, smart, strong and likeable even though Eli sometimes comes off cold and difficult. The author does a great job of letting us inside their heads. You get them and feel like you know them. As Eli learns how deep the corruption is and Harper learns of the corruption,their lives will never…
