EARTH HAS SEVEN DAYS LEFT

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.
