Pressia\u00a0Belze\u00a0is one of the masses who were exposed to the blast of the apocalyptic Detonations.\u00a0 Partridge Willux\u00a0is a Pure — one\u00a0 of the fortunates\u00a0who escaped into a massive, protective dome.\u00a0 Years after the Detonations, Pures\u00a0remain sequestered and safe in the Dome while those outside struggle to survive amidst the rubble and unrest.\u00a0 Each group has become almost mythological to the other — no Pures\u00a0leave the Dome, no outsiders enter.\u00a0 But when Pressia turns sixteen and flees to avoid mandatory enlistment by the brutal ruling militia, and Partridge escapes through the Dome’s filtration system in search of his lost mother, the two meet.\u00a0 Seeking safety and news of Partridge’s mother, they take to an underground network where danger lurks at every turn.\u00a0 In their flight, they uncover secrets about their pasts and their families, as well as a conspiracy that contradicts everything they thought they knew about the Dome and the Detonations.\u00a0 This story, the first in\u00a0 a planned trilogy, kept me awake and reading long past bedtime.\u00a0 Highly recommended for those who enjoyed Suzanne Collins’s Hunger Games<\/em>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
