A haunting dystopian fable about a girl content to live within the walls of her orderly town, only to discover that magic is real and her world is built on lies. Perfect for readers looking for hope in a complicated world.
Ezra Kempe has lived her entire life by the rules of the Husbandry, careful to never stray from the path in her small Progressive village. She performs her daily duties at the Archives, she eats dinner alone every night, and she gives no thought to the hulking, ancient wall surrounding her village.
But some secrets Ezra has kept even from herself. The scars on her hands tell a story she has long forgotten—or never actually known—and one that was never meant to be silenced. It's a story that will change everything Ezra knows about the world. It will force her to leave her home, her village, her life and face the dangers of the Enchanted—a wild place restricted by the Husbandry—where she will discover that her entire life has been a lie.
