Rook and Gage live worlds apart -- but somehow they must find a way to
help one another survive.
Trapped in a life she didn't choose, Rook struggles to find meaning in
her appointed role as an apprentice Keeper of ArHK. Even though her mam
soothes her with legends of the Outside and her da assures her there are
many interesting facts to discover in the Archives, Rook sees only
endless years of tracking useless information. Then one day Rook
discovers historic footage of the Chosen Ones arriving in ArHK, and she
begins to realize her mam's legends are more than bedtime stories.
That's when Rook begins her perilous and heartbreaking search for the
limitless sky.
Gage is also trapped. Living on the frontier line with his family, his
is a life of endless moving and constant danger. As he works with the
other scouts, Gage searches for the Ship of Knowledge to help his
society regain the wonders of the long distant past, when machines
transported people across the land, illnesses could be cured, and human
structures rose high into the sky.
Will Rook and Gage escape the traps and perils that await them in order
to save each other's worlds? If they don't, it could very well mean the
end of humanity.
