So blurbs / summaries have never been my strong point. Whatever mood I'm in, I just find them so hard to squeeze out XD Just wondering if this summary would interest you. I wanted to keep it very ambiguous, I'm not sure I was successful though lol. Let me know honestly =]

“If I could feel then, I would feel remorse for killing these boys, for taking their youth and corrupting it with the sick idealisms of old men. They stand behind me now with a blankness of expression that I know too well. I know it because I put it there. I beat it into them until blood ran down their faces and each was nothing more than a shell of empty flesh and bone. They are soldiers now, but just like me, they can never be men.”

The city of Alpha has stood tall for over 200 years, a glittering metal world, self contained and comprised of 11 levels in total. Rose Morgan was born and raised in its slums, to live and to die with nothing more expected of her. However, when chance has her witnesses a dark stranger committing a terrible crime her life is turned upside down and she is thrown into a world of conspiracy, discovery and rebellion. As she delves deeper into the questions which surround her city, her thoughts are forever consumed by memories of that night and the man who, for inexplicable reasons, has stirred feelings within her beyond her understanding.
Thanks. Yeah, that's great advice. I'll make it a tad shorter then!
