In the old world there were many rules In the new world there is only one: don't open your
eyes In the seventeen years since the 'creatures' appeared many people have broken that rule
Many have looked Many have lost their minds their lives their loved ones In that time
Malorie has raised her two children - Olympia and Tom - on the run or in hiding Now nearly
teenagers survival is no longer enough They want freedom When a census-taker stops by their
refuge he is not welcome But he leaves a list of names - of survivors building a future
beyond the darkness - and on that list are two names Malorie knows Two names for whom she'll
break every rule and take her children across the wilderness in the hope of becoming a family
again
