Publisher's Summary

Ava didn't want to be right. Not about her city. Not about their leader, Chief Morray. But when Joseph gives her a secret journal from the past, the truth is revealed. She escapes with Joseph to the Outside, sending Chief Morray on an obsessive pursuit to retrieve his property. Ava has to decide if she should keep running, or return to the city center to save her people.

( Smart Girls Love Sci-fi) "The revelations before the conclusion are properly shocking and quite insidious." ( SF Crowsnest)
