Dystopian Sci-Fi Books for Young Adults

Marisol Blaise was rescued as a child to grow up in a sophisticated, underwater station deep in the Pacific Ocean, a structure that sustains the last gasp of humanity and its technological achievements. The aboveworld is a scorched ruin, and only a few thousand humans—all living beneath the oceans—still exist, or so she's told. Marisol, about to be assigned her lifelong career at the station, has worked hard to become one of the elite divers of a team called the Cuviers, so far comprised entirely of men. She's the adopted daughter of the station's leader, and it seems she will get her wish, but darker forces conspire against her, both on the station and above on dry land.
