The earth is in ruins. Years of warfare, plague, and disaster have ravaged the planet and driven its people into despair. The powerful and wealthy have abandoned Earth and created New Earth, a utopia in the sky where the last of the elite can start fresh. On New Earth, citizens are free from danger thanks to a surveillance device that lives beneath their skin. A device that keeps their new home crime-free through meticulous emotional surveillance. A device called the Intercept.

Violet Crowley has never gone hungry. She's endured neither violence nor fear. As the only daughter of New Earth's Founding Father, Violet has spent her entire life in comfort and safety. That is, until her friend, colleague, and long-time crush, Danny Mayhew, gets into a deadly altercation on the streets of Old Earth. In an instant, Violet risks her father's fury and intercedes to rescue Danny. When Danny can't explain his actions, Violet launches a secret investigation to find out what he's hiding. An investigation that will lead her to question everything she's ever known about Danny, her father, and the power of the Intercept.

Reviews for Dark Intercept (#1 Dark Intercept)

A dazzling, thought-provoking vision of the future that raises the question: Is safety worth the sacrifice of freedom? --Booklist The Dark Intercept grabbed me from the first page and shook me until the last. A riveting and suspenseful story of love, risk, and betrayal. --EMMY LAYBOURNE, author of Berserker, Sweet, and the Monument 14 trilogy A chilling and thought-provoking look at the power of weaponized emotion. --MELISSA LANDERS, author of the Alienated trilogy Both cautionary and hopeful--a rare, literary feat. --GENNIFER ALBIN, New York Times bestselling author of the Crewel World trilogy A stormy, spine-tingling ride in which everything remembered and once felt in your life can be used against you. --BLUE BALLIETT, author of Chasing Vermeer The Dark Intercept goes straight to the heart of why privacy matters in today's world. Keller has written an accessible coming-of-age adventure where the teenage protagonist comes to understand the consequences of living in a society that monitors everyone's emotions, including her own. --MICHAEL C. ROBINSON, Chair of the American Library Association Intellectual Freedom Committee's Privacy Subcommittee Julia Keller writes so viscerally that she takes the readers with her into the worlds she has created. The Intercept is a fascinating springboard which she uses to explore the importance of feelings, and how they affect our lives and choices. --BETSY FRASER, Selector, Calgary Public Library (Alberta, Canada), and 2016 YALSA/ABC-CLIO/Greenwood Service to Young Adults Achievement Award-winner
