Every thing and every person has its place and purpose in Society. This is a truth that all Attisians know, ever since the founding of their settlement on the Outpost planet of Attis many megas ago.
Minty Bradford 8 has never doubted her place and purpose in the world. As an 8 - a direct descendant of the first settlers - Minty has a responsibility to one day take her place in the Advocacy and legistlate the laws that govern her planet, even if all she wants is to quietly run the Farm her parents left to her.
But the bounds of Minty's solitary life are shattered when she becomes entangled with an Earthen girl and her fugitive brother, and Minty begins to question the truths she once knew as irrefutable.
As Minty shelters the Earthens against the laws which she swore to uphold, she must ask herself: how far is she willing to go? And what will she choose to do with the life she has inherited?
Is Minty willing to risk everything she's ever known in order to save two Earthens?
LEGEND meets RED RISING in this historically-inspired adventure of compassion, self-discover, and sacrifice.
