Synopsis

Sixteen-year-old Neva has been trapped since birth. She was born and raised under the Protectosphere, in an isolated nation ruled by fear, lies, and xenophobia. A shield "protects" them from the outside world, but also locks the citizens inside. But there's nothing left on the outside, ever since the world collapsed from violent warfare. Or so the government says...

Neva and her best friend Sanna believe the government is lying and stage a "dark party" to recruit members for their underground rebellion. But as Neva begins to uncover the truth, she realizes she must question everything she's ever known, including the people she loves the most.

About this title

Review:

This book was amazing! It was really adventurous and romantic and got your emotions going ... a fantastic story for people who like dark romance (Aleks Rzeszut, St Augustine's High Teen Titles)

This is a thoughtful and, in some places, a distressing book looking at what the future could hold for us. It poses big questions for a teen book about sex, family, society and human nature and it doesn't do a bad job of it. It's dark, it's gritty and some parts are tough to read, but it's worth it. (Catherine Bakes thebookbag.co.uk)

Book Description:

Sixteen-year-old Neva plots to escape her world where everyone looks the same and no one is allowed to leave in this compelling dystopian thriller about identity, love and freedom.
