Terra

In the shadow of a devastating plague that has decimated Earth’s population, humanity is divided.

Above, the elite live in opulent skycities, while those who remain on the ground—terrestrials—struggle to survive in settlements scattered across the dying planet.

Eighteen-year-old Terra Rhodon ekes out a living as a scav, scouring the earth for scraps to recycle for profit… until a routine scavenging run leads to a discovery that shocks her home settlement of Genesis X-16.

Suddenly, Terra finds herself with questions no one will answer and, unbeknownst to her, a target on her back. Her search for the truth ultimately leads her to Adam—an enigmatic skydweller with a secret that could change humanity forever.

As ancient secrets are uncovered, Terra will have to confront everything she thought she knew about her world—and how far she is willing to go for those she cares about. Initially published in 2012, this is the 2024 revised edition of the first book in the Terrestrials Duology—perfect for fans of the Hunger Games and Divergent.
