Pressia has lived outside the dome for as long as she can remember. The detonations from when she was a child have caused serious ramifications for those who survived. Pressia's hand is forever fused with her childhood doll, and everyone around her as some sort of scar or fusion. At the age of sixteen she goes on the run . . . Partridge is from the dome where his father is a powerful leader, yet he continues to yearn for something more. When he escapes the dome and joins Pressia they discover that neither world is what it seems.

This is another fascinating dystopian that looks at the ramifications of a nuclear type bomb. The story switches between the perspectives of several characters, and the action never stops. Although some of the plot twists can be seen coming, and information learned late in the story is a bit too convenient, all in all it's a worthy addition to the dystopian canon.
