Stripped of her freedom and torn from her family, Carla is forced to mine the powerful Tiger's Eye gemstone craved by the oppressive new world. She must find a way to escape the Compound before it's too late. Her only hope is a mysterious friend - but can she trust him?
Evading drones and scouring crumbling cities in her desperate search for answers, Carla must stay one step ahead of the feared Commander in a perilous game of cat-and-mouse. Will she unravel her true identity in time to help the rebellion destroy the Compound, or will the children lose their only hope of seeing their families again?
This is a great book, especially if you enjoy reading dystopian novels such as the Maze Runner and The Divergent series. Would love to see this book be made into a movie!
My teenage son read this book and was raving about it, and wanted to know if there is a sequel. If you like dystopian thrillers like the Hunger Games, you're also going to love this.
