The Midnight Factory (Book 1 in a new dystopian thriller series)

[Russell]

In a rain-soaked world of addiction and control, one woman’s fight to save her friend becomes a haunting battle over truth, loyalty, and the fragile cost of hope.

In New Albion, shimmer is both escape and enslavement—and the Bureau for Virtue makes sure people stay hooked. When her best friend is taken to the dreaded Midnight Factory, Anouk Walker must risk everything to bring him back. But joining the Resistance forces her into moral compromises as dark as the system she’s fighting, and the devastating truth behind shimmer may shatter them all.
