The Kevinian cult has taken everything from seventeen-year-old Minnow: twelve years of her life; her family; her ability to trust. And when she rebelled, they took away her hands, too.

Now, their Prophet has been murdered and their camp set aflame, and it's clear that Minnow knows something—but she's not talking. As she languishes in juvenile detention, she struggles to un-learn everything she has been taught to believe, adjusting to a life behind bars and recounting the events that led to her incarceration. But when an FBI detective approaches her about making a deal, Minnow sees she can have the freedom she always dreamed of—if she’s willing to part with the terrible secrets of her past.

Dark, breathtaking, and ultimately optimistic, Stephanie Oakes’s debut novel is a book you’re unlikely to ever forget.
