"A powerful, thought-provoking story that pulled me in from the start . . . with twists and turns like a roller coaster, an absolute must-read." -Paula Abdul, Emmy and Grammy Award-winning singer, dancer, choreographer, actress, producer, and television personality

"A heart-pounding sleigh ride into a twisted future world." -Gustav Carlson, award-winning international journalist and author

In a dystopian world, equity begins at birth. Every newborn is placed into a pool and randomly reassigned to a different family-no child should have the advantage of the "right" family. Even stillborn infants are entered into this cruel lottery.

Brooke Yeled is an agent of the powerful Progeny Agency, tasked with enforcing this chilling ideal. But when Brooke discovers she herself is pregnant, her world begins to unravel. Surrounded by betrayal, intrigue, and escalating violence, she quickly learns the fierce power of motherhood and the depths she will go to protect her unborn child.

As Brooke fights for what is hers, she becomes a target of the very system she once upheld-a system obsessed with absolute equity at any cost, guided by ruthless artificial intelligence and relentless surveillance.

With danger at every turn and trust becoming an impossible luxury, Brooke must find the truth hidden beneath layers of deceit. Can she gather the proof she needs in time to save her baby, as well as herself? Or will she become yet another victim of equity's unforgiving rule?
