Ember is a city built to last 200 years. The builders of Ember left instructions to the mayors in a box that would open by itself. Unfortunately, one of the mayors was corrupt and tossed the box into a closet, where it was forgotten for centuries.
The year is 241. Lina Mayfleet, and Doon Harrow are two children in Ember who find themselves on a mission to save their dying city. The city's lights are beginning to flicker and food supplies are running out.
