What unforgivable sin would you commit to save the world? In 2161, the first chimera arose. A year later, twelve billion people were dead. The few who survived called it the Reckoning. Generations later, their descendants hide within the walls of small, rustic villages, cowering from chimeras. They revere tradition. They fear innovation. They mistrust anything that's different. Root couldn't be more different. Curious and irreverent, she disquiets her village. Blind daughter of the village guardian, she stands apart. Frustrated with a wall-bound life, she grudgingly accepts it--until she hears the voice that no one else can hear. Root's journey will take her into the wilds to discover the truth: that her world has been twisted by people trying to save it. And her choices will determine whether humankind's last ember flickers out. A rural-dystopian novel exploring post-apocalyptic Amish country, a society shaped by fear, and private choices that remake the world
