β¦ Synopsis
Three weeks on a ship to China as a stowaway. Backbreaking labor in paddy fields. A one-room shack for a house.
Vika Cannon will endure anything if it means giving her unborn child and her sister Ceres a chance to grow up. The Great Land may be fraught with dangers of its own, but it's still safer than the grim Asylums and stinging acid rains of their poisoned home. The brutal conditions seem a small price to payβ¦especially with Shale Underwood to come home to.
But when a local cell of New Amanian Radicals is captured, Vika knows it's only a matter of time before her true identity is revealed. In order to survive, she must immerse herself in an underground society where masked strangers revel in the spoils of illicit power.
A mistake now could result in her unmasking--and the obliteration of everything Vika holds dear. As the net around her cinches tighter, she begins to understand that nothing in life is free.
What will Vika trade for her family's safety?
