OLDER FICTION
Moyer, Jenny

Flashfall

(3) YA Sixteen-year-old Orion is a "subpar" miner of cirium ore, which protects superior "naturals" from the radioactive flashfall curtain. Orion can earn sanctuary from the radiation in the city of Alara if she mines enough cirium. But after she uncovers a conspiracy, is Orion's destiny that of miner, warrior, or savior? This dystopian debut is imbued with a literary-fiction flair and an evocative romance.
