A bargain with the city

Vita Nova’s promise of safety rests on a stark policy: the elderly and chronically ill are subject to euthanasia, while volunteers receive a final week of luxury before execution. Kira Liebert helps fulfill those volunteers’ wishes and trusts the system, despite her own mother’s death under its rules. When Will Foster asks to spend his last week with Kira, their journey beyond the city’s barricade brings her into the Unregulated Zone and challenges what she believes about Vita Nova. The setup connects a personal relationship with questions about sacrifice, civic survival, and the cost of an orderly society in an apocalyptic world.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Readers interested in dystopian science fiction centered on a tightly controlled city.
  • Readers seeking a romantic storyline alongside questions about social systems and sacrifice.
  • Readers who enjoy post-apocalyptic settings featuring dangerous zones beyond protected borders.

Book overview

Inside the walls of Vita Nova, safety comes at a terrible price.

 

The elderly and chronically ill face mandatory euthanasia, while the "Volunteer Program" offers citizens a week of luxury and adoration-before their execution.

 

Kira Liebert works with the Volunteers, granting their every wish. Despite losing her sick mother to the Compulsory Program, she believes in the system that keeps their overcrowded city alive.

 

Until Will Foster walks into her office.

 

Young, handsome, and volunteering to die for the good of the city, Will has just one request for his Final Week: He wants to spend it with Kira.

 

Unable to refuse a Volunteer's last wish, she's swept into an unexpected journey that takes her beyond the barricade-into the dangerous Unregulated Zone where lawless marauders roam among crumbling buildings and overgrown highways.

 

What Kira discovers will shatter everything she believes about Vita Nova, forcing her to confront the darkness within the system she once trusted.

 

REVERENCE is Raena Rood's gripping and romantic new dystopian trilogy.
