Publisher's Synopsis
What do you do if you're born on a cliff town with dystopian obligations for everyone at the age of thirteen? What then do you do if they train you to become an assassin and you are forced to kill those who try to run? You find a way, of course, to inadvertently trip and fall off the cliff and into the unknown world just as twisted in different ways. And what if you are so brainwashed after years of being surrounded by craziness that you actually think of going back and miss it at times? What you know feels safe, even if it's perverse and wrong.
Off the cliff you discover sexuality and the human body and all the wonderful things it can feel when not on drugs, and then you meet him, the boy who raised himself from the age of five. He is indeed wild and can hardly speak as his parents had been deaf, but you teach him, and you grow together. You walk with him searching for a place to call home. What beauty awaits, what horrors await. You are strong; you know that. And he is kind. The two of you together are magnificent and produce the most exquisite of loves. But life is tough out in the wild, and the dangers are many. And you must protect the miracle you created. Will you leave him behind to save yourself, to save her?
