In the year 2050, America is booming--but there's a dark side when prosperity is based on the buying and selling of the next generation's future, as Sasha Cross is about to find out. To the world, Sasha is young, famous, and the symbol of what's wrong with a money-first society. To the Big 7 companies that control the fate of America's youth, she's a sure thing, and they all want a piece of her. But Sasha wants to choose her destiny. Whether you're an Auction elite such as Sasha or someone stuck in the bottom tier of society, whose life is worth nothing to the Big 7, having a mind of your own is dangerous. As society threatens to crack under the weight of the Auction, Sasha and her fellow candidates face decisions that will define their lives--if they get to keep them. Perfect for fans of "The Hunger Games" and "America Inc.," this riveting story explores the dark side of capitalism and what happens when a person's future becomes a commodity. What if your financial earning potential was determined solely by an auction -- and your future went to the highest bidder? It's 2050, and 22-year-old Sasha Cross is about to enter The Auction, where America's Big 7 companies will bid on Series A candidates -- considered to be the best and brightest young minds with the highest earning potential. Companies place bids on desirable candidates, and if they win those bids they receive 25 percent of the candidates income. But Sasha, the daughter of one of the world's most famous actresses -- and a hounded celebrity herself -- is considered to be Auction elite. But she wants nothing more than anonymity and the ability to decide her own fate. Yet in a nation that lives by the edict of "your value dictates what you will become," falling out of line is not an option. And she will soon face decisions that could affect far more than her financial future.
