The Greed Gene - Paperback

The American Dream is dead. There are only two classes left: the starving Poor and the untouchable, ultra-rich Elite.

The power grid goes down, the supply chain breaks. The rich isolate themselves from the poor, walling off their luxurious Estate communities, while the poor are left to wither in the wilderness.

In the rich Estates, every life is meticulously, beautifully planned from embryo. Twenty-year-old Elysian, daughter of the powerful Estate leader, has been trained her whole life to inherit his power, believing their flawless world is saving and advancing humanity.

But perfection has a price.

When a mysterious, charismatic outsider named Naxo infiltrates the Estates to expose the terrifying truth - that the elite secretly use their power to torture and control the poor outsiders - Elysian is pulled into a deadly game of manipulation and betrayal.

The line is drawn. Elysian must choose between upholding the glorious lie of her perfect society, or finding a way to assassinate her father and seize the destiny she was born for. Her final, terrifying discovery? Power is a poison, but she craves the taste.
