From the Back Cover:

New York City, 2118.

Manhattan is home to a thousand-story supertower, a beacon of futuristic glamour and high-tech luxury . . . and to millions of people living scandalous, secretive lives.

LEDA is haunted by nightmares of what happened on the worst night of her life. She’s afraid the truth will get out—which is why she hires WATT, her very own hacker, to keep an eye on all the witnesses. But what happens when their business relationship turns personal?

When RYLIN receives a scholarship to an elite upper-floor school, her life transforms overnight. But being there also means seeing the boy she loves—the one whose heart she broke and who broke hers in return.

AVERY is grappling with the reality of her forbidden romance. Is there anywhere in the world that’s safe for them to be together?

And then there’s CALLIOPE, the mysterious, bohemian beauty who’s arrived in New York with a devious goal in mind—and too many secrets to count.

Here in the Tower, no one is safe—because someone is watching every move, someone with revenge in mind. After all, in a world of such dazzling heights, you’re always only one step away from a devastating fall. . . .
