Sixteen-year-old Anna should not have been born. It
is the year 2140 and people can live for ever. No one
wants another mouth to feed, so she lives in a Surplus Hall, where unwanted
children go to learn valuable lessons . . . at least she wasn't put down at
birth.
One day, a new inmate arrives. Anna's life is thrown
into chaos. He says things about her parents and the Outside that couldn't
possibly be true . . . Or could they?
Thrilling, passionate and beautifully written, this
dystopian novel is perfect for fans of The Hunger Games
