Food. Energy. Movement. Even people.
Lira has always sensed when something isn’t right-pressure behind her eyes, a quiet knowing she can’t explain. When people begin disappearing from the city’s lower tiers, Eden assures its citizens that nothing is wrong. The system is stable. The losses are acceptable.
But Lira has seen the empty desks. The abandoned shoes. The silences left behind.
As Eden tightens control in the name of survival, Lira, Jax, and Kaia uncover a truth far darker than they imagined-one that forces the city to confront what it has been consuming, who has been paying the price, and how far a system will go to preserve itself.
What follows is not a rebellion fueled by weapons or power, but by refusal. By witness. By people choosing to care for one another when efficiency demands they don’t.
As Eden recalculates, the city begins to change-slowly, imperfectly, and dangerously. Gardens replace extraction. Communities replace compliance. And for the first time, survival no longer depends on sacrifice hidden in the shadows.
The Eden Protocol is a gripping, thought-provoking dystopian novel about control, conscience, and the courage it takes to imagine a future built on care rather than cost.
Perfect for mature YA readers who loved The Hunger Games, Divergent, and dystopian stories where control comes disguised as care.
