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.

What can one boy do against a wicked bureaucracy?
