In Meritropolis, submission to the System is the only way to survive.

Or is it?

The year is AE3, 3 years after The Event. Within the walls of Meritropolis, 50,000 inhabitants live in fear, ruled by the brutal System that assigns each citizen a merit score that dictates whether they live or die. Those with the highest scores thrive, while those with the lowest are thrust outside the city gates to face the terrifying hybrid creatures that exist beyond.

But for one High Score, conforming to the System just isn’t an option. Seventeen-year-old Charley has a brother to avenge and will not rest until he and his friends have taken the ultimate risks and faced the ultimate foes in order to set the System right.

Fast-moving and action-packed, Meritropolis combines the thrill of the Hunger Games with the odyssey of the Wool series and the ingenuity of Avatar to bring to life this savage and terrifying world.
