The Earth Below

Almost a century after the Catastrophe, a group of survivors have built a new society deep in the safety of the underground network.


Marri knows the rules are there to keep their population healthy and growing, but they don’t leave much room for attraction—let alone love. Her duty is no match for her desire, and now her life is in danger. Can she escape the world below—and what will she find if she does?


The Earth Below is a dystopia, an adventure and a love story that introduces a thrilling new voice in young adult fiction.
