Klappentext

Has Kaya entered a safe haven from catastrophe, or somewhere much darker? Kaya has no memory of her life before she arrived in Attica a decade ago with her adopted brother, Wes. They were seeking shelter in the small community of survivors from something far sinister outside its walls. But Attica is a prison of its own, where life is tightly controlled through oppressive rules and rituals. When Wes starts acting strangely and then dies, Kaya wonders if he'd remembered something significant from his past. She herself is curious about who the familiar yet mysterious man is that appears in her dreams, stirring her memories. As Kaya's questions about Attica and her own past grow, she discovers that nothing--and no one--is as it seems. But will uncovering the truth about Attica--and herself--set her free . . . or destroy her? A gripping, spine-chilling, and thought-provoking speculative thriller with a mind-blowing twist, perfect for fans of Blake Crouch and A History of Wild Places by Shea Ernshaw.
