The Last Teens of Coral
The Last Teens of Coral plunges readers into a future where humanity clings to a man-made technology that supposedly lets mortals speak with God. But this miracle is also a weapon: a brutal electronic surge eradicated everyone under twenty-five, and as new life is born, society is forced to implant children at age five —knowing they’ll likely die before adulthood. In this bleak landscape, Io and Daye remain hidden in a bunker, sheltered by their brilliant but condemned mothers who knew the tech’s dark secret.
When their mothers executed for treason, Io and Daye must venture into a society where older elites prey on their youth. Io becomes trapped in a cycle of abuse and addiction. Watching his best friend —and the girl he loves— descend into horror, Daye vows revenge on the technology’s that’s enslaved them all. His quest will lead him to a shocking truth: the god everyone worships.. may have never been real.
Now, with the world’s faith teetering on a lie, Io and Daye face impossible choices —risk everything to destroy the crystal power source, or submit to a system that’s built on blood and betrayal. Only one path might break the cycle, but it demands the ultimate sacrifice -and the final word on whether true divinity will ever speak again.
