Seventeen-year-old Mireya is back where she started. But everything is different now. She's at the top of her class on the military base, her doting parents are actually proud of her, and she's surrounded by the friends and classmates she's known all her safe, protected, predictable life.Everything would be perfect if it weren't for the troubling dreams and the occasional hallucinations she gets. Mireya knows the visions aren't real, but they feel like memories.Of a life she never had. All the vivid images have two things in common-a disturbing sense of foreboding-and a gorgeous blue-eyed guy she's never met. When she comes face to face with him, she's in shock. Even more so when he insists she needs to flee the base immediately and make a new home at a mysterious place called the Haven. He tells her he loves her and warns that her life is in danger, and so are all her friends. Unsure what to believe and whom to trust, Mireya must decide whether to leave her home and lead her friends into the unknown. After all, her fractured memories include mentions of the Lost Boys? and everyone knows Neverland holds many wonders. And threats. In this second book of the Designed series, Mireya will have to come to terms with who and what she is and use all her wits to navigate a new world-one that may be exactly where she belongs. Or not.
Mireya's carefully constructed life on the military base shatters when disturbing visions and a mysterious stranger reveal her reality is a dangerous fabrication. Seventeen-year-old Mireya finds herself at the top of her class, praised by her parents, and surrounded by friends, but plagued by vivid hallucinations that feel like memories of a life she never lived. These visions consistently feature a striking blue-eyed stranger who warns her of impending danger and urges her to flee to a place called the Haven. Faced with the choice between her predictable life and an unknown future, Mireya must confront the truth about her identity and decide whether to trust this stranger and lead her friends into peril, especially with fragmented memories of 'Lost Boys' and the implied connection to Neverland surfacing.
The premise sets up a classic dystopian narrative where the protagonist uncovers a hidden truth about their world and must choose between safety and freedom. The inclusion of romantic elements and fragmented memories suggests a focus on character development and mystery. The narrative framework, as indicated by the description, likely follows Mireya's first-person perspective as she navigates her internal conflict and external threats. The series context implies a continuation of established world-building and character arcs, promising further exploration of the dystopian society and Mireya's role within it.
