Aprašymas

Sometimes bad choices are the only ones left.

In the decades since the chaotic Uprisings that saw the death of over half the global population, the newly Reformed American Empire has adopted a pervasive surveillance apparatus. No one talks about Lower Tier Citizens disappearing off the streets, but everyone knows. Always need bodies in the Penal Production Provinces.

One Unregistered boy has a visceral mistrust of people despite having no memories, not even of his own name. Living alone beneath Markston and discovering the Empire aboveground, he finds an unexpected ally in Twitch when the older boy rescues him from a confrontation with the Chill-the nationalized police. Now, with Twitch's guidance, Kid is trying to survive on the violent streets, chasing an apocalyptic prophecy spoken in his mind by a brazen head in a museum, and worrying about why the laws of physics don't always seem to apply to him the way they should.

Unbeknownst to Kid, however, a long covert Enlightened Court-intimately familiar with the prophesied end of the world-is rather alarmingly interested in collecting people with powers. Can he evade the Chill and gain acceptance in Twitch's gang, not to mention keep secret whatever is happening to him? His freedom, his life, and possibly even the fate of the world now depend on his ability to navigate a world he is just starting to understand.
