The Helix Confession

About this book

Decades after a cascading solar catastrophe ravaged the surface, humanity survives inside The Helix—a 27-kilometer subterranean particle accelerator beneath the irradiated French countryside. Eighteen-year-old Nyra Vale was once the youngest Truth Auditor in the ruling Synod, dedicated to preserving the rigid, historical truth. But after being scapegoated for a catastrophic life-support failure that killed her father, she is exiled to the claustrophobic, radiation-leaking lower rings. When Nyra uncovers a murdered Archivist's log bearing an impossible timestamp, she realizes the official history of the apocalypse may be a meticulously crafted lie. Teaming up with a laconic tunnel engineer and relying on a child courier who speaks in forgotten pre-collapse jingles, Nyra embarks on a relentless investigation through the curved, multi-level civilization. As the corrupt Synod threatens to purge the lower rings to bury the evidence forever, Nyra must navigate deadly betrayals and decide whether the devastating truth is worth destroying the only world she has ever known.
