False Paradise (Paradise Chronicles)

A remote space colony. A repressive government. One teen determined to bring an evil regime down at any cost.

The distant future. Ella Wilson struggles to stay out of trouble. Born curious, the seventeen-year-old is tired of getting yelled at by the teacher, bullied by classmates, and chastised by her mother for ruining potential betrothal contracts with her unladylike interests. So when she meets a new guy who respects her quest for knowledge, she’s thrilled when he provides her access to forbidden boys-only curricula.

Learning from her newfound friend about an off-world university for all, the resilient young woman dreams of escaping to a place where she’s no longer a misfit… and the authorities don’t keep the population ignorant. But when she sacrifices her happiness to join an underground resistance and undermine the tyrannical rulers, she discovers she’s painted a target on her back.

Will Ella become a hero of her people, or a brutally erased cautionary tale?
