Few resources. Limited time. One girl to change everything. In a world that nears human extinction lies a place called Ashville, where the government formed the World Inhabitance Group to save their people. The Group initiated a plan: assign each eighteen-year-old a death date. Each mistake costs you time. Every move is watched. And only the select are immune to the rules. For seventeen-year-old Nova James that's the way it's always been. But when a rebellion forms and her city is destroyed, Nova is forced to do a forbidden task: seek answers outside the city walls. She's on the run, but she's not alone. Alex, a mysterious boy, joins her cause. Along the way, they discover a government secret so sinister, they may not survive. And the farther they go, the more they confirm the truth...in this world, it kills to be less than perfect.Please note: Death Date (Chapters 1-40) first appeared in the Kindle Vella Program under the same name.
