Promised Lies - Maria Andrea Back;Maria Andrea Back

200 years ago The Great Destruction left mankind defenseless and near extinction. To save humanity, and the last of her race, a goddess bathed in robes of white and jewels of gold, chose six humans who resembled the future of humanity. Who held the potential to save what is left of the world. They bound themselves to eternal life and built a city, Elyan the last standing country.
But immortality makes humans greedy. Lustful. They wanted more. They wanted the power to control what brought their destruction. Nixyns, man eating monsters who were the loyal servants of the goddesses. Outside the city, facilities were made. Children's facilities.
A new law was crafted for the people, "Only have one child."
Once broken the eldest child must be sent to the facilities and offered in the place of the family.
Brooklyn's family has just broken this law. This joyous moment turned desperate.
Families torn apart.
Secrets hidden beneath the crown and the corrupt government must be uncovered.
Unaware of what's hidden behind the facilities doors, Brooklyn must find the truth.
With betrayal in their midst and the end of the world as they know it, will Brooklyn and the others manage to escape this cruel fate?
