The Athena Package (Paperback or Softback)

I was nobody in a world that wanted to keep me that way. Time to prove them wrong.

I've accepted my place at the bottom as a red band. I work double shifts, save every data credit, and dream of the day I can afford my CNA certification and give my family something better than survival.

Then my sister Rayda disappears.

Her kidnappers don't want money. They want something I've never heard of: the Athena Package.

What is it? A weapon? A secret? Something powerful enough to make people disappear?

I'm not supposed to access restricted databases. I'm not supposed to work with a blue band like Breckett. And I'm definitely not supposed to discover that Rayda isn't the only one who's been kidnapped.

They're all being held for the same impossible ransom.

So I'm done following the rules.

Every search pulls me deeper into a conspiracy hiding inside the system I've spent my entire life obeying. Now I'm racing against kidnappers, the government, and people I thought I could trust.

Because I've finally learned what the Athena Package really is.

It won't save my sister.

It could tear down the entire system.

My sister is still counting on me to save her.

But what if saving her means destroying everything I've ever known?

Trust no one. Question everything. The truth will cost you more than you know.

A clean YA dystopian thriller set in the near future, featuring a determined teenage girl, a government conspiracy, forbidden knowledge, and impossible choices about family and freedom.
