Rising Up: Book One in the Tranquility Series

A mother’s death.
A city without grief.
And a girl who refuses to smile through the pain.

In Tranquility, emotions are tracked by Alts—wrist devices that punish anyone who dares to feel sadness or rage. Ember Vinata should keep her head down, pretend she’s fine, and survive. But when her mother dies suddenly, Ember’s grief sparks questions she isn’t supposed to ask.

Her search for answers leads her to Will, the city’s golden hero, and to Xander, the rebel outlaw who tempts her to break every rule. Together, they uncover secrets that could shatter Tranquility’s perfect facade—and cost them their lives.

The city demands happiness. Ember will risk everything for the truth.

Perfect for fans of Divergent and Matched, Rising Up launches a gripping YA dystopian series of forbidden love, rebellion, and the courage to feel everything.
