To escape execution for a crime she didnāt commit, sixteen-year-old Sev is forced to run away from the only home sheās ever known in this ārichly imaginedā (BCCB, starred review) post-apocalyptic debut novel from Caitlin Sangster.
Sev is branded with the mark of a criminalāa star burned into her hand. Thatās the penalty for being the daughter of the woman who betrayed their entire nation.
Now her motherās body is displayed above Traitorās Arch, kept in a paralyzed half sleep by the same plague that destroyed the rest of the world. And as further punishment, Sev is forced to do hard labor to prove that sheās more valuable alive than dead.
When the government blames Sev for a horrific bombing, she must escape the city or face the chopping block. Unimaginable dangers lurk outside the city walls, and Sevās only hope of survival lies with the most unlikely personāHowl, the chairmanās son. Though he promises to lead her to safety, Howl has secrets, and Sev canāt help but wonder if he knows more about her pastāand her motherās crimesāthan he lets on.
But in a hostile world, trust is a luxury. Even when Sevās life and the lives of everyone she loves may hang in the balance.
