Virch

By: Laura Resau

Narrated by: Eliza Summers

Mind-bending, fast-paced YA sci-fi with heart.

In the year 2154, virtual reality is an enticing escape . . . but just for the privileged. For others, like sixteen-year-old Liv, reality means living by a contaminated bay that's sickened her little sister to the brink of death.

Liv is determined to find a cure. She ventures to a mysterious tropical island to infiltrate a tech empire owned by the world's most powerful man. When she encounters his son, Wolf, she's shocked. He isn't the shallow celebrity portrayed in the virtual world—he's an idealist with heart, committed to righting his father's wrongs. And when Wolf promises to help save her sister, he might just capture Liv's heart, too.

But as Liv and Wolf confront a danger beyond anything they could have imagined, they must unravel the deadly scheme at the core of the tech empire. And their world starts to crumble . . . just as they’re falling in love.

Rooted in futuristic science and ancient wisdom, Virch explores truth and illusion, human and environmental rights, and the forces of love behind it all.
