The sea rose. Civilisation drowned. Land became our saviour. Seventeen-year-old Christy knows that life is a set of rules, and rules are inherent to survival. The rules of Land decide what colour clothes you must wear. What job you must do. How much food you can eat. Where you can live. How long you can live for. Rules are not there to be broken. Not in Land. So when an unexpected path is laid out for Christy, she quickly realises that taking it will have extreme repercussions. This new life - one of danger, that of rebel, spy, lover, and assassin - will mean choosing death.
