An awakening nation. A deadly appointment. A race against time.

As rumblings increase throughout Newland, Carys, Amy and Jacob find themselves prisoners of the regime in different ways. Midwinter Festival is fast approaching, and with it a deadline nobody wants to think about. From the darkness of a prison cell to forgotten underground tunnels to unexpected visits to places they thought they'd left behind forever, the fugitives must fight to survive where they are and find a way out of impossible situations that threaten to break them.

Meanwhile, scattered Resistance and Outsider groups are coming together to seek justice after decades of oppression. In a frenzied countdown, the Resistance and the young people are caught up in an increasingly dangerous series of events. Can they really challenge the all-powerful New Day Party to bring justice and healing to a broken nation? And can they keep their own integrity in the process?

In the fast-paced final part of the Newland Trilogy, dive back into a world where equality and justice have been laid aside for power and greed, and journey with tenacious characters who are not afraid to stand up and fight - even in their darkest days.
