A Riveting Sci-Fi Mystery Thriller Packed with Twists

As an encroaching ice age swallows the world outside, New Seattle survives beneath its protective dome. Inside, life revolves around the People List, a measure of what others think of you. Everyone has a rank, the #1 spot is the prize, and a single misstep can lead to a downfall. Scottie's first year as an adult isn't going well—she's stuck near the bottom, struggling to find a personal brand. When attention finally comes her way, it's a disaster: Delilah, the town's longtime #1, falls from her balcony, and the blame for the deadly accident lands squarely on Scottie.

Except that it might have been murder. With her reputation sunk and only her AI chip, Cece, to confide in, Scottie races to uncover the truth. If she drops to last place on the People List, she'll be escorted to the town gate and exiled to the icy wasteland beyond the dome. It means leaving everything behind—her small circle of friends, a forbidden romance, the comfort of home.

Scottie doesn't have much time to save herself. The ranking updates in a week.

A killer caught? That could be the brand of a lifetime—unless it all goes wrong.
