Apocalypse / DystopianThe Last Green Place on Earth
The Weald is the last green place on Earth, and its 3,806 survivors have built their entire lives around one brutal rule: every life must be paid for. Then Neve Halloran, the woman responsible for measuring how much life the land can sustain, discovers the number on the Board is a lie. The soil is dying. The truth has been buried for nineteen years. And the only way to give the Earth a future may require destroying the last place keeping humanity alive. As Neve uncovers what the Weald really is—and what it will cost to save a world none of them may live to see—she and Gatewarden Joss Amadi are forced to choose between the life they finally found together and a future that demands they walk in opposite directions.

Earth has seven days left. Everyone knows exactly when the world will end, and humanity’s only hope is the Aubade—a massive ark built to carry forty thousand people to another world. Then Ada Wren’s nineteen-year-old son wins a berth. There is only one problem. Ada helped build the ship. And she knows it will never survive the journey. As the final countdown begins, Ada uncovers a truth far worse than a hidden defect: the ark was never simply built to save people. The lottery was never truly random. And the people in charge already know exactly what will happen after launch. With her son determined to board and the entire world clinging to the Aubade as its final symbol of hope, Ada must decide whether exposing the truth will save anyone—or destroy the last peaceful days humanity has left. The countdown is real. The ark is the lie.
