Strip the world of luxury.
Strip it of laughter.
Strip it of children.
Strip it of freedom.

Lennon Maddox lives in a world where the government is consisted of five mechanical leaders, where rules are religion, where there are no such things as homes but instead, Grids. She lives in a world where it's divided into four, and she is in the North.
People die, are tortured, are taken before her eyes. Lennon's focus is to take care of her family-and Finn. But when she sees something that was never meant to be seen, and understands what people never understood, she's become the Compass's newest weapon. And the story of how her own dead brother started the revolt with just mere words spoken through his lips unraveled a revolution, a revolution that is now in Lennon's hands, starts here.
