About This Book
Reach for this book when your teenager is feeling disillusioned by the rules of their world or is struggling with the burden of a promise that no longer feels right. It serves as a powerful mirror for young people who feel they must choose between being a good person and being a loyal member of a team, group, or institution. The story follows William, a young man forced into a high stakes intelligence role within a corrupt empire. To protect those he loves, he must navigate a web of lies and decide if his personal integrity is more important than his sworn word. It is a sophisticated exploration of honesty and the weight of responsibility, perfectly suited for mature teens (13 to 18) who enjoy fast paced science fiction but crave deep ethical questions about justice and systemic corruption.
