The island Republic has emerged from a ruined world. Its citizens are safe but not free, until a man named Adam Forde rescues a girl from the sea. Fourteen-year-old Anax thinks she knows her history. She'd better. She's sat facing three Examiners and her five-hour examination has just begun. The subject is close to her heart: Adam Forde, her long-dead hero. In a series of startling twists, Anax discovers new things about Adam and her people that question everything she holds sacred. But why is the Academy allowing her to open up the enigma at its heart?

If you're looking for a Dystopian piece that is action packed with a haunting storyline and vivid characters, this is not the book you're seeking. This is however a wonderfully constructed world contained within a very interesting form of storytelling. The British accent lends a certain clinical and smooth air to the reading.

If you like books where the main character spends majority of the time recounting the story of a fabricated historical person and not telling their own story then go ahead and read this book. It was not my cup of tea.
