The Rule of One (The Rule of One, #1)

by Ashley Saunders

“The government may always be watching, but they do not always see,”

“The Common remains alive only where the government could never hope to censor,” she says, placing her hand over her chest. “Inside of those who still resist.”

In grief all the little flaws of those we loved are colored over.

Humankind is everything’s and everyone’s most dangerous predator. Blindly killing its own planet, slowly wounding it over the centuries. Forcing my generation to mop up the blood.

For thousands of years, societies have built walls to keep their adversaries out or their populations in. But history tells us they all eventually fall. Stone, brick, wood, concrete, barbed wire, and tamped earth cannot keep a sharp mind and a desperate determination at bay forever.

We run. Not because we have to. But to willfully embrace the unknown. And to prove we’re still alive.
