Book Excerpts
The
Kakus have seen what Father has done. There is no turning back now. We are now
enemies of our state, our country. They begin to fire at us, nearly hitting
Mother in the head when a bullet grazes the wood beam she is standing by. She
screams! And we go back toward the kitchen door. Moe, JoeJohn, and Sam the
jeweler each meet us, bearing their own rifles. Not all of our friends join us,
though. Richard and Klein, two more of our neighbors whom Father has known for
many years, well, they remain loyal to the Purest.
They
move toward us, firing as they inch closer. Father, Moe, JoeJohn, and Sam try
to protect us. They immediately use their bodies as shields, firing their own
weapons at the Kakus. We hear a scream. It is Sam, and he now lies dead on
ground. It’s all happening so fast—no time to think, no time to mourn the death
of a friend.
We
have to run! Move fast!
Get out of here! We run toward the old subway station—left by our
ancestors—in the square. We see our image flash across the DigiMax. Soon, the
entire country will know that we are traitors, enemies of the state.

A few days ago, I was living the life of the privileged elite—now I may not live through the night…
In a dystopian world, far in the future,
seventeen-year-old, Fenesia Thornbark, loses her home, her way of life,
and most of her friends and family, all at the hands of people she once

younger sister’s life, as well as that of several other orphaned
children they meet along the way, while trying to find the resistance

survive in a hostile environment that is unfamiliar to her, Fenesia is
transformed into an unapologetic killer—something she had never imagined
possible in her former privileged life.
