About the Book
In Victoria on a former prison colony, two
exiled groups – the farmers of Shantih and the City dwellers – live in
apparent harmony. All is not as it seems, however. While the
peace-loving farmers labor endlessly to provide food for the City, the
City Bosses rule the Shantih with an iron fist. When a group of farmers
decide to from a new settlement further away, the Bosses retaliate by
threatening to crush the "rebellion."
Luz understands what it
means to have no choices. Her father is a Boss and he has ruled over her life with the same iron fist. Luz wonders what it might be like to make her own choices. To be free to choose her own destiny.
When the crisis over the new settlement reaches a flash point, Luz will have her chance.
