Now so many people are dead that the survivors are whispering war– and The Reestablishment has changed its mind. The Reestablishment said their way was the only way to fix things, so they threw Juliette in a cell. Diseases are destroying the population, food is hard to find, birds don’t fly anymore, and the clouds are the wrong color.

The last time she did, it was an accident, but The Reestablishment locked her up for murder. Juliette hasn’t touched anyone in exactly 264 days. Genre: Science Fiction, Dystopia, PNR, Young Adult
