About this ebook series
Long after humanity has fallen from the world it once ruled, a hidden community called Central survives beneath the notice of the machines. Mercedes - Cedes to those around her - has been taught the rules all her life: stay hidden, obey the laws, fear the machines, and never question the truths that keep humanity alive.
