IRON PENDULUM Synopsis:
A month ago, Avery thought the world ended outside Dome Four. Thought she was one of the few of her kind. Thought the war that brought the human race to the brink of extinction was over.
But a month can change everything.
After fighting to escape a tyranny she didn't even know existed, Avery has had to come to grips with all the secrets she's uncovered. But more secrets continue to come to light, revealing how little of her world she truly knew. When evidence starts to show that Dome Four might be under siege, Avery knows what she must do.
Returning to the dome she longed to escape is a challenge for Avery, but now she knows there’s corruption lurking in the shadows. A massive steam shortage leaves half the dome without power, and people are falling ill. Dying.
And they’re blaming Avery.
A month can change everything. One more month could kill everyone. The clock is ticking.

EXCERPT:
Lexie was the leader of the Alliance. Vivacious and determined, I still couldn’t believe she was only twenty-three—my age in eight years.
Almost seven.
As if Sari had read my mind, she perked up. “What do you want for your birthday, Avery? It’s next week.”
“Yeah, the big one-six.” Agreed Alice. “You’re old. Practically ancient in post-apocalyptic terms.”
I laughed. “Then what does that make Riggs?”
“A giant, dusty, dinosaur fart,” Jaxon said, and everyone burst out laughing.
“Come on, let’s get home before more Zeroes find us,” Sari said. “I don’t want to deal with any more disgusting things today. Jaxon covered in crap more than exceeds my quota.”
She took a step forward and a snap rang through the tunnel. Her scream pierced the air, threatening to burst my eardrums. Water splashed against us as Sari flipped upside down and was pulled to the ceiling by a rope, her mask falling into the shallows.
A rusted metal trap had lain in wait, slicing into her ankle with every fight and twist of her body.
