Gritty upper YA dystopian/fantasy about two fiercely devoted sisters struggling to survive their abusive home while a brewing rebellion threatens to tear their city apart. While the older sister aligns herself with the rebels, the younger supports those in charge -- and neither sister realizes how deep the other's separate views go. But as everything around them slowly unravels, both girls have to face the truth that everything around them is changing. And that nothing -- and no one -- they know is quite what as it appears...
