Bookroo's summary

Matthias, a forbidden third child, finds himself entangled with the oppressive Population Police after saving an officer. Trained as one of them, he meets Nina, a fellow third-born, who seeks his aid in a daring rebellion. With trust scarce and danger lurking, Matthias must navigate a treacherous path. Can he outsmart a ruthless regime, or will he become its pawn? The stakes are high, and the choices are perilous.

From the publisher

HIDE OR FIGHT?Matthias, an illegal third child, is caught in the cross fire between rebels and the Population Police. When he unwittingly saves a Population Police officer, Matthias is brought to Population Police headquarters to train as an officer himself. There he meets Nina, another third-born who enlists his help in a plot to undermine the Population Police. But Matthias is under constant scrutiny, and he has no idea whom he can trust. What can one boy do against a wicked bureaucracy?
