Approximately eighteen years before Scarlett. . . .
Violet has only one week to decide her future.
The Selection Ceremony provides her with the opportunity to select her husband and her profession for life. Being seventeen doesn’t make such a heavy decision any easier. Why would she pick anyone other than Kane, the boy she has been interested in for years?
But when things don’t go the way Violet is expecting, everything spirals out of control. How can she trust a system that doesn’t seem to care about her?
Join Violet as she braves the Selection Ceremony and all of the difficulties that come afterward.
Everything has settled into a routine for Violet until…
…someone from the past shows up and offers her an opportunity to leave City 5.
The main problem is that Trevin doesn’t want to go, and Violet isn’t sure she can leave him behind.
When she finds out some unexpected news, Violet has to make a decision to either stay trapped in City 5 or take a risk and leave the City and everything she knows behind. If she takes that risk, will she even be able to make it out of the City?
