Downfall - Paperback

In a world buried under eternal snows, five giant, electric crystal pillars are all that separate the last habitable city from destruction. Rebecca Dalton is determined to lead the corps that keeps them running, but when a series of mysterious power spikes lures her out of the safety of the city's highest floors, she'll need more than just her engineering skills to escape her hunters.

Lost and terrified in her new surroundings, Rebecca enlists the help of Jakes, a gruff but handsome boy from the city's lowest and most dangerous floors. Jakes claims to resent everything about Rebecca and her high-class upbringing, but as the unlikely pair face off against roving gangs, malicious military men, and the terrible plot that sent Rebecca tumbling down in the first place, she'll discover he's more closely entwined with her world than she ever could have imagined.

Will Rebecca unravel the mysteries surrounding Jakes and the power spikes threatening her city or will humanity's last bastion finally fall?

Downfall is the first book in the young adult, crystal punk series, Chronicles of Castia. If you like clean, slow burn romance; side characters you can fall in love with; and a wonder-filled world that you can get lost in, you'll love Abigail Morrison's immersive tale.
