In a land divided by fear, loyalty is everything, and love is dangerous.
Ivy has spent her life bound to the rules of a town that values obedience over truth. Buckley is everything that the world taught her to distrust: an outsider, a threat, a man marked for death. But when their paths collide, the lines between right and wrong begin to blur.
As tensions rise and secrets unravel, Ivy is forced to confront the truth about her past, her family, and the fragile world she thought she understood. With danger closing in and time running out, one impossible choice could cost her everything, or finally set her free.
Some bonds are stronger than fear. Some rebellions begin with a single act of courage.
