What is religion-and why is it so dangerous that her government had to erase it?

Seventeen-year-old Esther is on the brink of finishing high school, her future wide open and her heart set on escaping her quiet Mid North Coast town for a life of possibility. But Esther was born into Farmer-a small, ostracized Australian community despised by both the Towns and the Elites. To chase her dreams, she faces an impossible choice: hide who she is, or risk becoming a target.

In a nation where religion is outlawed, surveillance is constant, and strict laws promise peace and equality, the government insists it has created a perfect society. Yet beneath the surface of this fragile utopia lie secrets no one dares to question.

As Esther steps into adulthood-thrilling, uncertain, and dangerous-relationships, rules, and forbidden knowledge collide. And the question she was never meant to ask may cost her everything.
