Description
In a world where life begins at conception and ends at thirteen, three teenagers are fighting for their lives. Conner's parents have ordered his "unwinding", a process that repurposes his organs to benefit others. Rita, a ward of the state, is slated for unwinding due to cost-cutting measures. Lev, the tenth child of a family with a religious obligation, has been destined for unwinding since birth. As their paths intersect, these teenagers start to resist their fate and fight for their own destinies. But will they be able to escape their predetermined course or prove that their lives are worth saving? This gripping first book in the Unwind Dystology series explores a dark and thought-provoking world where the value of human life is determined by society's leaders. With its suspenseful plot and themes of survival, rebellion, and social commentary, this novel will keep you on the edge of your seat.
