Synopsis

New York, 2118. Manhattan is crowned by a tower a thousand stories tall, where the rich live in high-tech comfort near the top. Five teenagers inside it are each hiding something dangerous.

Leda is still haunted by the worst night of her life and will do whatever keeps the truth buried, including trusting someone she counts as an enemy. Watt wants his past behind him, but Leda pushes him back into hacking. Whether he can break free of her for good is the question that drives his thread.

Rylin wins a scholarship to a school on the upper floors, and her life shifts overnight. The move puts her in the same halls as an old flame: she hurt him, and he hurt her just as badly.

Avery loves the one person she can never have, and she is desperate to be with him whatever it costs. Calliope arrives in the city as a bohemian newcomer set on making a stir, and she knows where to start.

Someone is also watching all five, and that person wants revenge. This is a futuristic young adult drama with a rotating cast, built on romance, rivalry and secrets. It is the second book in the Thousandth Floor series, following The Thousandth Floor. The tone is glossy and soapy, with the stakes rising as the secrets close in.
