But is it really possible to escape one’s destiny?

A richly constructed world that follows the conventions of dystopian fiction: this tiered social structure is reminiscent of Hugh Howey’s Silo series, a modern science-fiction classic.
With characters you can’t help but love following.
About the author: Barbara Perri fell in love with speculative fiction at an early age, devouring Jules Verne at eight and Tolkien at ten, and has been creating her own stories ever since.
