Mallory Sleat was seven when she entered her first beauty pageant. She was ten when her father was locked up. And she was thirteen when the Smiling Man hunted her across the Whitevale Island marshes. After escaping the Smiling Man's grasp, Mallory wakes up in a strange land. A three day journey across the Atlantic Ocean has landed her in Sanctuary, a Kenyan wildlife refuge managed by an omniscient superhuman: Mother. Even though Mallory and her friends are surrounded by powerful allies, rumors pervade Sanctuary about a potential traitor lurking among them-a traitor who had a hand in the attack on Whitevale Island. Now Mallory has no choice but to question everyone's motives and discover who the beguiling culprit might be. With her inherited wit as the eldest daughter of an incarcerated embezzler, Mallory must make a stand and prove that she's not to be pushed around. She's a fighter, and the only way to prove it is to dirty up her knuckles... But Mother has different plans for her.
