The world had never heard of Thompson Village, Arizona. Its walls were high, its secrets were well-kept, and its elite worked tirelessly to keep the tiny community hidden from prying eyes. Its 159 families knew nothing of electricity, medicine, or democracy. They knew only what they had been told: that their ruthless Elders had been ordained by God to keep them safe. And they believed it.
At seventeen years old, Kati Selleck had already experienced the darkest of her village’s secrets: mysterious bear attacks targeting anyone who dared to speak out. The only way Kati knew to keep the same fate from befalling her and her loved ones was to commit herself to a dismal life of blind obedience. She would have to marry whomever the Elders might choose, and never again speak of her love of hunting. Could a free spirit like hers be silenced? Kati would soon find out.
