"A beautifully crafted SF dystopia, boasting relatable characters and a skillful plot..." BookLife Reviews
A desert warrior, a con-artist, and a promise. Destiny.
Grace Irese, a headstrong, sixteen-year-old desert warrior, has crossed the wrong man. In a world being violently ripped apart by his ambitions, the new Revered dictates everything, including the price Grace will pay for her infraction. Torn from family and home, she is remanded to an off-world juvenile facility called the Emerald. Her sentence? Life.
Duncan Oaks, wise-cracking, teenage con-artist, has done the unthinkable, something which shames him to the core. He, too, has been sentenced with cruel intention by the Revered to life imprisonment on the Emerald. Duncan finds himself facing the mortifying truth of his actions every day, with no hope he can be redeemed.
But Grace is not one to give up. Neither is Duncan. Together, they embark on a hazardous journey no one has ever before attempted. More than their own freedom, they seek to save a young, gifted child from the Revered's control. Their best hope is a promise. Because a warrior's promise is everything, even to the boy who betrayed her.
Prepare yourself for a seamless, heart-pounding blend of dark fantasy and science fiction as you join Grace, Duncan and their companions on an epic journey guaranteed to test their courage, their resolve, and ultimately their belief in themselves and each other.
