The Suffocation by Sarah Brouillard

In a future where air is currency, survival comes at a brutal cost.

Ten years ago, climate collapse and global war shattered the atmosphere, forcing humanity underground. Oxygen is scarce, food scarcer, and breathing is a privilege for the rich.

As oxygen reserves dwindle, chaos erupts in the Trenches—an uprising known as The Suffocation. Amid this, three nameless children—the Girl, the Boy, and the Child—struggle to survive. After a deadly raid destroys their camp, they embark on a perilous journey to Nova Heofon, a mythical city with clean air and freedom.

But the underground world is filled with dangers: mutated beasts, ruthless bandits, and dark secrets.

When they finally reach Nova Heofon, they face a devastating truth—one more suffocating than the air they fight to breathe.
