Description
Orphaned by one of the deadliest diseases ever known, Scylla has grown up sheltered in an orphanage. She has also grown up listening to the people of the town near the orphanage spout conspiracies about the government and those who control it, on the other side of the river barrier. Stuck on the Southside of a seemingly peaceful nation, Scylla has shoved down all curiosities about what lays on the Northside. However, when her best friend falls seriously ill, Scylla is sent spiraling. All the way across the barrier. Captured in this new world by a boy who despises her with everything he has, Scylla desperately waits to get back home. The longer Scylla spends in her Northside confinement, the more she begins to realize how imperfect this country actually is. Plagued by doubts of everything she has ever known, the world around her begins to slowly crumble with each new thing she learns. Searching for the answers to the lies of the world she lives in, those who hunt her stalk closer with each passing day. As it all comes crashing down, Scylla can't help but wonder what will happen next, or how she'll survive it.
