Children of the Signal

The colony of Kaeldaria has rules. Don't ask about the West
Woods. Don't question the lottery. Don't mourn the ones
who don't come back.
Amelia Butler followed those rules. Until now. Until the
silence became unbearable. Her father was chosen by the
lottery and never returned. The spokespeople called it a
tragedy. Parliament called it an animal attack.
Amelia calls it a lie.
When she and her friends begin pulling at the threads of
Kaeldaria's oldest secret, the answers they find are worse
than the silence they left behind. The lottery isn't random.
The expeditions aren't accidents. And the people in power
have known the truth all along.
The deeper Amelia digs, the clearer it becomes that Kaeldaria
wasn't built on safety. It was built on sacrifice. And someone
has decided that the next generation is done asking questions.
Children of the Signal is a propulsive YA sci-fi debut about
the courage it takes to demand the truth from the people who
were supposed to protect you, and what you become when
they refuse to give it.
