Description
In 2084, life on Bajacu is a constant struggle. Climate change has turned the Caribbean island into a scorching trial, forcing people to sleep in the day and live at night. Those who reach forty are deemed expendable, and the Domins rule with brutal fascism. Sorrel's desperate situation prompts her to persuade her mother, Bibi, to flee the city for higher ground in the interior. They hope to find shelter from the deadly sun and evade the feral packs that roam the landscape. But they also know they'll have to navigate treacherous terrain and avoid the Domins' patrols. As they embark on their perilous journey, Sorrel learns about self-sacrifice, maternal love, and the difficult moral choices required for survival in a world gone mad.
