When Stars Go Out

In a nation transformed by "The Great Reorganization Operation," teenagers are forcibly relocated across the country, separated from their families, and placed in government-controlled compounds. Reed, a defiant California teen, finds himself shipped to a facility in Virginia known as "the Hill," where he's assigned a factory job and a room with two strangers.

As Reed navigates this new reality, he discovers the dark truth behind the government's control. The Council, a shadowy organization overseeing the facility, maintains power through fear and surveillance. When Reed stumbles upon a secret group of Christian teens led by the charismatic Elijah, he's drawn to their authenticity and sense of purpose—even as he resists their faith.

When a violent attack shakes the compound and Elijah is arrested, Reed must confront his own beliefs and decide where his loyalties lie. As government control tightens and danger mounts, he faces an impossible choice: remain in the false security of the system or risk everything for freedom and truth.

When economic collapse suddenly dissolves the government's power, chaos erupts. In the violent aftermath, Reed discovers that true freedom requires more than broken chains—it demands a transformed heart. With newfound faith and purpose, he sets out on a perilous journey home, carrying hope in a world where stars have gone out.

If you enjoyed "The Giver," "This Present Darkness," and "The City of Ember," you'll love "When Stars Go Out."
