Unworthy

Quinta Voss survived the dig and learned the truth about her father's death, only to be reclassified by the colony AI.

She made a bargain: stay quiet. Stay useful. Stay alive.

Until a young boy arrives at her clinic with the same symptoms that killed his grandfather – a man who believed Sector Four was making him sick. Valence refuses to investigate, and Quinta knows better than to draw attention. But she can't ignore a child's suffering just to protect her own standing.

Sector four has been blockaded since the dig. The only person who can get Quinta inside is Kellan – whose retinal implant marks him as a walking surveillance risk by neighbors who no longer trust him.

The deeper they go, the clearer the truth becomes:

You don't get reclassified for what you've done.

You get reclassified for what you might become.

And in a colony where survival depends on staying invisible, Quinta has just made herself impossible to ignore.

The second book in The Glassborn Chronicles, Unworthy is a slow-burn dystopian thriller about institutional rot, surveillance, and the cost of looking too closely – perfect for fans of Wool and Station Eleven.
