In Fiscara, perfection is guaranteed. Every citizen grows up believing the system is fair, their future secure, and the government infallible. Life is divided neatly into five sectors, each essential to the country's balance. Alcaeus Blackwood has never questioned the world around him. But after the death of his parents, he squanders the government check meant to launch him into adulthood. To reclaim his future, he must complete three secret labors-trials that test his morals, endurance, and mental strength. With old connections resurfacing and unanswered questions mounting, he is forced to confront a truth Fiscara works hard to hide. Because in a country without flaws, doubt is the most dangerous thing of all.
