What this book is about
Pressia survived the Detonations outside, fused with a doll's head in her fist. Partridge grew up inside the Dome. When their paths cross, the truth about what happened and what the Dome's leaders are willing to do to maintain power begins to emerge. Baggott's YA post-apocalyptic trilogy opener is dark, inventive, and genuinely disturbing.
