Farm work isn't the worst thing in the world, as far as Noah is concerned. The daily grind of the Mill and the ever-watchful eye of the Guard and their Hoverbots aren't enough to put her off. She doesn't even mind the way her memory has slowly faded, leaving no trace of her life before being put to work. But the city of Thorne demands her attention, and she's sent off with a special delivery. Upon her arrival she's met by the infamous Clover, an underground protest group with a set of noble but terrifying ideals. They see things she can't - beauty in the empty city, cruelty in its leadership - and even potential in Noah herself

The city of Lumis used to be known for its soft lights, the endless glow that filled the night. Even after its inhabitants locked it away under a dome it remained, a shining beacon on the horizon. That is until a virus broke out in the system, turning the robots that ran the city against their creators. Twelve years after the War began, humans have been forced into small, unrelenting camps. The largest of which is Fairground. There, a mute medic dreams of breaking free and proving herself; but when she gets the chance, Ash learns that being a hero isn't all it's cracked up to be. When she's separated from her comrades and finds herself in a strange new community, she's forced to change - or die.
