Safety can become another kind of prison.
Beneath the ruins of Cleveland, Vire discovers a hidden community that has survived for generations inside an ancient underground refuge known as Citadel.
There is food. Clean water. Light. Order.
And rules no one is permitted to question.
While the people of Citadel place their faith in Gaston, the enigmatic leader who has protected them for longer than anyone can remember, Vire begins uncovering evidence that the refuge is not as safe—or as simple—as it appears.
As water rises, systems fail, and long-buried records reveal impossible truths, Vire must decide what survival is really worth. Staying below may mean surrendering freedom. Leaving may mean leading dozens of people into a dead world filled with Blight, Valk, and dangers no one inside Citadel has ever seen.
And this time, Vire will not be making the choice alone.
From J. Thorn comes the second novel in the DUSTRISE trilogy, continuing the story of Dustfall—where the safest place in the world may also become its tomb.
Genre: Science Fiction
