--Blurb:Author: Katja Waski
Title: Light Me Not (YA Sci-fi Dystopia)
“In the wastelands of Europe, the last citystates fight for survival.
Seventeen-year-old Noa Engel wants to train as a lightfighter for the Federal Proto Agency. She’s determined to avenge her father’s death by exterminating Lights—the invisible enemy eradicating the electricity grids and feasting on human lives.
As Noa’s home citystate becomes increasingly unsafe, Noa’s mother decides to bribe their way into the safe haven known as Amsterdam, defended by the secretive AIDE-initiative.
Their illegal entry rendered all of Noa’s dreams void, and she has to adjust to living as a non-stat, without a purpose.
But when her mother’s past life as a genetic engineer catches up with them, secrets start to unravel and Noa is forced to put her own wants aside to expose the AIDE-initiative’s true face and save humankind.
