It strikes me as sci-fi with heavy dystopian themes. I haven’t read Scythe by Neal Shusterman, but the blurbs sound similar.

It does sound interesting, though I think the prose could be tightened in a few areas, as it reads a bit ramblingly. Some bits “truth – real truth – has been accepted in all four corners of the globe.” I think “real truth” could be removed since it’s unnecessary and very vague.

“Suddenly, their lives are thrown back into chaos when the leader of a powerful government – and their close ally – is assassinated, and a tremendous fear creeps up upon the people of a regression back into darkness and war.” This is also long and mostly unnecessary. Maybe you could try something like “But the assassination of a powerful politician throws Reuel into chaos…and threatens to flood the world with darkness and war”.

Other than that, I think it’s pretty good. @valtmy also made some good points 🙂

(Just guessing…John Ronald Reuel??)
