This immersive, dramatized audiobook is brought to life by the amazing narration of Simon Relph. J. Wint's YA dystopian series starts with a bang and should appeal to sci-fi and fantasy lovers alike. The plot moves at a blistering pace, with a narrative that also incorporates elements from adventure and mystery genres to keep you on your toes and turning the pages with eager anticipation of what's to come. - Readers' Favorite There were so many moments as the plot barreled forward where I realized amazing connections that I had overlooked in the early chapters, making it a book to gleefully read again. Surprising and thoughtful, the plot builds steadily and ends with a bang. - Indies Today I absolutely love it when an aura of mystery permeates throughout the entire telling of a story. Wint left enough details unresolved that readers will be waiting with bated breath for the next instalment in the series. - Online Bookclub Set in the distant future, the story follows young Jet Stroud, who is affected by a rare condition known as ephebus mortem or E.M., a.k.a. the Youthful Death. The condition is rare and causes his eyes to glow a brilliant turquoise color. The legend claims he will die before his 24th birthday and, furthermore, its victims become delusional as the condition worsens. When Jet arrives at Skylight University—an orbiting system in Earth’s atmosphere—he challenges his fate by seeking out the remaining students with E.M., and together they search for a cure. Along the way, challenges arise—bullying, loneliness, discrimination—and strange apparitions begin to follow them. The cure is said to be hidden in a series of old paintings. After some effort, they locate a few of the paintings and witness mysterious holographic messages only they can see but struggle to unravel their meaning. As the semester roars to a conclusion, Jet is faced with a shocking revelation and must make a decision that will change his life forever.
