In the future, the world has flipped. Ravaged by the Conflagration,
this is a harsh world where the relentless sun beats down, peoples
lives are run by a heartless elite and law is enforced by a brutal
brigade. A mark at the base of the spine controls each persons
destiny. The Machine decides what work you will do and who your
life partner will be. In this world, everyone must make their
contribution. Some more than others. Juliet Seven - "Ettie" - will soon
turn 15 and her life as a drudge will begin, her fate-mate mate
will be chosen. Like everyone else, her future is marked by the
numbers on her spine. But Ettie decides to challenge her destiny.
And in so doing, she fulfils the prophecy that was spoken of before
she even existed. (For 14-16-year-olds)

A storm rises and they are swept away. They reach a new land, but all is not what it seems in this perfect place of refuge. Juliet is desperate to escape. Since the day of her birth, the blind tellers of Mangeria have prophesied that Juliet is ‘The One’. What will she have to do to fulfil her destiny?

Ben's family circle suddenly grows by one, then by two and then by another. The sum of all these new family members should be three, right? Except everyone knows that two plus one relatives don't make three, they make trouble. It's a year of relative madness.
