About this ebook
Kendall and Kylie Jenner, stars on the hit reality show Keeping Up with the Kardashians, present their debut novel—a thrilling dystopian story about two super-powered girls who embark on a journey together.
In a world of the far future, the great City of Indra has two faces: a beautiful paradise floating high in the sky, and a nightmare world of poverty carved beneath the surface of the Earth.
Lex grew up in an orphanage deep in the dark. But even as a child, she instinctively rebelled against her fate—the time when she would be judged either useful to Society or forced to live among the mutations in Rock Bottom, the lowest level. When she is chosen to become an elite cadet of the Population Control Forces, only her fellow cadet Kane truly understands her longing for freedom.
Unknown to her, one girl secretly shares her defiance. Livia Cosmo, the Orphan Airess, may live on a sky island surrounded by wealth and privilege, but she is just as restricted as Lex. Rigid discipline governs her every movement, as she learns the art of becoming a Proper Young Woman, the belle of the Emergence Ball, ready to be picked for “cohabitation” by the finest of the Proper Young Men. Her future is assured, until an intriguing encounter with a young man named Kane changes everything.
For that is when Lex’s and Livia’s destinies collide….
Approached by an old enemy to help save Kane from mortal danger, Lex sacrifices her Special Ops career to find him in the Islands among the clouds. Her search, high above in the beautiful spires of the City of Indra, brings her instead to the airgirl Livia. Lex and Livia should have nothing in common, and yet they share a kindred yearning for escape from the strict rules that bind them...and a mystifying identical mark. Brought together by danger, they set out to find Kane, but what they discover is even stranger than either dreams.

I just finished reading the sample and I will admit that there is a lot of big words I don't know but it helps that you can highlight a word and see the definition on the Google book app but other than the big words I am so going to buy this book I wasn't expecting it to be this good I am loving the story line this far can't wait to see what happens next.

I absolutely enjoyed this book, the only reason people think it's "trash" is because they don't like who wrote the book. I loved it, it was full of action and you never knew what was going to happen next. When I first started reading it I thought it was going to be boring, but I continued to read and it was actually wonderful and I couldn't take my eyes off of the book. I think they did an absolutely wonderful job, thank you for such an amazing book.!

It's so bad that I almost cried. This is a mockery to the literature world. You can see how bad it is even by just reading the free sample. The story itself lack depth and characaters are plain bland. Please don't waste your time reading this unless you're five or younger.
