About this audiobook

Ayris Phoenix was never supposed to matter. A Gray in a city built on color, she was born to harvest, obey, and die when her number hit zero. Then Authority takes everything from her, and something in Ayris breaks. She carries a secret written into every citizen's blood, one Authority has hidden for generations. Using it, Ayris ignites a rebellion that tears through the City of Ishtar. But bringing down a system is only half the fight. Surviving what the truth costs is the other. A story about what freedom really costs, and who's willing to pay it.
