ABOUT THE BOOK
Merel lives on a futuristic island, a sanctuary built amidst a vast sea. Generations ago, her community weathered devastating floods and scorching heat, forever shaping their world into one of perpetual twilight.
Their lives are governed by ancient traditions, “the truth,” born from the necessity to control their population. These traditions are harsh, demanding sacrifice. But as Merel navigates this carefully constructed society, the reader begins to understand that this world may be set in a future version of New Zealand.
