Description
In a world where sunshine can kill, there are heavy shutters on every window, there are underground tunnels for safe passage during the day, and a society that has learned to live nocturnally. This is the only world that eighteen-year-old Manda has ever known.
As this passionate girl struggles to bloom amongst the confusion and turmoil of adolescence, she find a single comfort; Jordy, a man who delicately teaches her how beautiful life can be. But then the letter comes. Manda will soon be evacuated from her home and transported to a country where the days are shorter, and the sun less deadly. She bides in agony as she waits to learn if she will lose the only man she's ever loved.
