Recreance

A young man exiled. A defiant girl with a secret. An iron-fisted Ministry that wants them both dead. The Ministry teaches that it saved humanity from extinction, that its strict rules and harsh punishments are there to keep citizens safe. Seventeen-year-old Oren Hart believed it to be true...until the terrifying night he lost everything. Now, his only hope for survival lies in the Miralaja desert--a death sentence in itself. Chased by Ministry assassins and hunted by predators from above, Oren will need to keep his wits about him if he hopes to live long enough to learn the truth. Clementine doesn't know why Oren vanished. But after uncovering a dark Ministry secret, she too must flee into the unforgiving desert. As Oren and Clem discover the horrifying truth behind the Ministry's rise to power, they uncover a plot that threatens everyone they've left behind. Can they find each other and put a stop to it, or will the last flame of humanity be snuffed out forever?
