A nation called the Alliance rises out of the destruction of a
massive asteroid impact. As disease decimates the world's
survivors, the Alliance gains strength due to its mandatory organ
donor system. This System forces the lower caste, "donors," to give
up their organs to Alliance citizens-even to the point of death.
Seventeen-year-old Joan, a gifted athlete, is the personal donor of
the absolute elite of the elite, the pampered daughter of the
ruling Governor. She has been ingrained by the harsh rules of the
System her whole life, following the System willingly-yet she still
harbors one last glimmer of inner freedom and the hope, that
somehow, someway she can fulfill her romantic feelings for a young
citizen named Duncan. But the rules of the System forbid any
relationships of this kind. Whatever dreams Joan may have come to a
crashing halt when she learns her next donation will be her last.
The Governor's daughter wants the foremost cause of Joan's superior
athleticism: her heart. No pleas or bargains can be made. Alone,
Joan must flee and become one of the hunted, a small and as far as
she knows completely dead minority. In a fight for her life, she
must evade capture by a ruthless security force and find safety
outside the nation's walls. This distant horizon is a complete
unknown, spoken about only in whispers. The trials of facing these
dangers not only awaken her long suppressed sense of self, but they
provoke even greater challenges, for she is devastated to learn
Duncan is one of those hunting her. For Joan, physical trials are
second nature and if anyone can escape and survive outside the
nation's walls, she can. But can she leave her family, her hope for
love and her fellow donors behind?
