About This Book
Some leaders are born in chaos, but what happens when trust is the most dangerous thing? Marco holds a secret that could save—or doom—the quarantined mall, where every day is a fight for survival. Just when order seems possible, a hidden threat turns friends into enemies, and no one knows who to believe.
Themes
