Blue Fire

I didn’t mean to kill my father.

The year is 2076. Earth is ruled by a one-world government. In order to maintain unity, all citizens must deny their national, racial, and religious identities—or suffer the consequences.

After her rash decision leaves her father cryogenically frozen, seventeen-year-old Philadelphia Smyrna races to hack the machine and thaw him before the damage is permanent. Stranded on Earth and wanted by the government, she calls on her father’s old contacts and uncovers the truth she was never meant to find: Dr. Smyrna was an insurrectionist. He was the mastermind behind a plot to end the government's religious intolerance, before a tragic mistake killed his wife. Now the rebellion plans to finish the job and liberate the “unassimilated” once and for all. And they want Philadelphia to take her father's place.
