About this listen
WINNER 2025 RUBERY PRIZE YOUNG ADULT NOVEL
In a world that fears the future, one boy dares to seek it.
Sixteen-year-old Will has been raised to distrust technology. After a cataclysm known as the Devastation, his isolated community rejected the old world—shunning electricity, machines, and the progress they once promised. But Will yearns for more.
When he's cast out for questioning the rules, he sets off alone on a perilous journey to Coal City, the last place his estranged father was seen—and a place rumored to hold the key to a better life. Armed with only his survival skills and relentless determination, Will navigates treacherous terrain and encounters unlikely allies: rugged coal miners, a band of traveling circus performers, and a fearless acrobat who challenges everything he thought he knew.
As Will’s journey unfolds, so does his understanding of the world’s harsh beauty—and its hidden dangers. When he finally reaches Coal City, he uncovers a brutal truth: the city is ruled by a tyrant who thrives on slavery, corruption, and fear. To confront this evil, Will must risk everything—and decide what kind of future he truly believes in.
