It’s bedtime for Liam, and his mother just wants peace and quiet—no more of this banging and shouting. For Liam, that’s a tough proposition: the darker it gets, the more certain he is that a giant bear is approaching. Sure enough, the bear appears, hungry enough to eat Mama, and it’s up to Liam to trap him.

In the year 2069, turning seventeen means mandatory Global Alliance work assignments that range from backbreaking drudgery to deadly canal labor.

But the continent itself—roiling with civil war and mercenaries intent on crushing the blending program at any cost—poses the gravest danger. Will following rumors of a mountain hideout lead them to sanctuary, or cost them their lives?
