What this book is about
Poe Blythe commands the Serpentine, a mining ship that dredges a deadly river in a post-apocalyptic world, protected by the deadly defenses she built herself after raiders killed her companion Call two years ago. She has been waiting for another raid so she can take her revenge. But when the attacks come from a different direction than expected, Poe has to choose between the revenge that has kept her alive and something that looks like a future. Ally Condie's standalone fantasy is a slim, emotionally driven story about grief calcified into purpose, and what it costs to let it go.
