we set the dark on fire by tehlor kay mejia

Will Dani cling to the privilege her parents fought to win for her, or to give up everything she’s strived for in pursuit of a free Medio-and a chance at a forbidden love? But nothing prepares her for all the difficult choices she must make, especially when she is asked to spy for a resistance group desperately fighting to bring equality to Medio. On her graduation night, Dani seems to be in the clear, despite the surprises that unfold. Now that her marriage to an important politico’s son is fast approaching, she must keep the truth hidden or be sent back to the fringes of society, where famine and poverty rule supreme.

Her parents sacrificed everything to obtain forged identification papers so Dani could rise above her station. Daniela Vargas is the school’s top student, but her bright future depends upon no one discovering her darkest secret-that her pedigree is a lie. Depending on her specialization, a graduate will one day run a husband’s household or raise his children, but both are promised a life of comfort and luxury, far from the frequent political uprisings of the lower class.
