The sky was supposed to be humanity’s salvation. It was actually hiding the truth. Thirty-seven days after her brother’s funeral, Mara Vey receives a call from his number. His message is impossible: the surface is alive, and the sky is hiding them. In Aurelia, a city suspended above the clouds, everyone has been taught that the world below is dead. But when Mara uncovers missing records, secret experiments, and evidence of people living beneath the clouds, everything she believed begins to collapse. Hunted by Continuity and forced to trust Jonas Rhal—the estranged son of its powerful leader—Mara follows her brother’s trail into the forbidden depths of the city. What she discovers will challenge the meaning of memory, identity, death, and the history of humanity itself. The Sky Lies is a fast-paced science-fiction mystery about buried truths, impossible memories, and a civilization built on a lie. Book One of The Chorus.
