In this futuristic, outer space thriller, Terra has to decide between
supporting the rebellion she believes in--and saving the life of the boy
she loves.
For generations, those aboard the Asherah have lived within strict rules
meant to help them survive the journey from a doomed Earth to their
promised land, the planet Zehava-which may or may not be habitable, a
question whose imperative grows now, in the dwindling months before
touchdown.
Sixteen-year-old Terra's situation is tough. A dead mom. A grieving dad.
A bitchy boss, and a betrothed who won't kiss her no matter how bad she
wants it. She's doing her best to stay afloat, even when she gets
assigned a vocation she has no interest in: botany.
But after Terra witnesses the Captain's guard murder an innocent man,
she's drawn into a secret rebellion bent on restoring power to the
people. The stakes are higher than anything she could have imagined.
When the rebellion gives Terra an all-important mission, she has to
decide where her loyalties lie for once and for all. Because she has
started to fall for the boy she's been sent to assassinate...
