Forbidden Books

In the year 2116 CE, Earth is destroyed by a devastating tsunami. The survivors escape to the planet Kosna, where they build a new life—and start a new era: AED (After Earth Devastation). Nearly a thousand years later, humanity lives under domes, scattered across eleven planets. Every move is controlled. Every rule must be obeyed. Individuality is forbidden. On the planet Kosna, twelve-year-old Joset has never been good at following rules. She questions everything—even when it gets her into trouble. When Joset and her friend Hogan stumble upon a hidden settlement from the first colonists, they uncover something that was meant to stay buried: books. Books that challenge everything they’ve ever been taught. Suddenly, Joset is pulled into a secret resistance movement known as Freedom. Hogan is left behind, trapped by a family secret he cannot escape. As the distance between them grows, so does the danger. Because in a world built on control, the truth is the most dangerous thing of all. And when everything starts to fall apart, Joset is forced to ask herself one question: Who can you trust?
