The Blue Death
About the Book
There was something wrong with the light… It felt unnatural. Inhuman. Hungry.
In many ways, Ali is a normal boy. He hangs out with friends, cares for his dog, and harbors a crush on the girl next door—just like any other teenager.
Except he’s never been outside. Never seen the sun. Never felt the breeze. None of them have.
They all live inside the Compound, a massive, enclosed facility ruled by a faceless elite. Everyone wears the same clothes, eats the same food, and follows the same routine, day after day. School ended years ago, after Grade 6. Now, there are only Duties.
Still, Ali makes the most of his sheltered life—until the day it’s torn apart. Chasing his mischievous mutt down a forbidden hallway, Ali stumbles onto a terrible secret—one that pulses electric blue. Now he must run for his life… or fall victim to it.
Trapped between a monstrosity within and a hostile world without, Ali must find a way to save himself and his friends from The Blue Death.
