About this book:

Beneath the Ashen Sky plunges readers into the grim reality of New Munich, a dystopian city choked by pollution and controlled by the iron fist of the Authority. Seventeen-year-old Mara Keller lives a life of quiet desperation until her younger brother, Luka, disappears, accused of ties to the mythical underground resistance. Forced to confront the city's brutal truths, Mara follows a cryptic trail of clues left by Luka, venturing into the forgotten tunnels and hidden networks beneath the ashen sky.

Her desperate search leads her to Anya, a resourceful operative of the Ember, the very resistance movement Luka was entangled with. As Mara is drawn deeper into their world, she discovers that Luka’s idealism has uncovered a terrifying Authority plan: Project Chimera, a technology designed to suppress independent thought itself. Their journey culminates in a daring infiltration of the Authority's central Spire, where Luka risks everything to expose the truth and awaken the city.

But their actions come at a heavy price, exposing them and leading to devastating losses. Hunted relentlessly by the Authority and its chilling surveillance drone, the Watcher, Mara and Anya, with the fragile hope of an unconscious Luka, must navigate a city erupting in open revolt. Armed with the Authority's deepest secrets and a desperate, unwavering resolve, Mara must make a final, impossible choice that will determine the fate of New Munich and the dawning of a new day beneath the ashen sky.
