After America’s Second Civil War, society creates a terrifying compromise: from ages thirteen to eighteen, teens can be “unwound,” meaning their lives are broken apart for the supposed “greater good.” It’s a law meant to keep peace - but for the teens caught in its path, it’s a nightmare.
Conner, whose parents signed the order without telling him. Risa, a gifted pianist whose future is cut short by budget cuts. Lev, raised his whole life to believe this fate is his sacred duty. When a twist of fate throws them together, the three teens go on the run - fighting not just for survival, but to prove that their lives are worth protecting. As they uncover the truth behind the system controlling them, they discover courage, hope, and unexpected friendship in the darkest of circumstances.
Intense, thought-provoking, and filled with heart-stopping moments, Unwind examines freedom, choice, and what it really means to be alive - all through a story you won’t be able to put down.
