Publisher's Synopsis
For fans of The Hunger Games and The Man in the High Castle! Abigail Henderson was a slave in the Empire of Truth and Light; a fascist country that was as bad as Nazi Germany but followed Moses' instructions to the Israelites (Book of Numbers 31:17: Now, kill all the boys. And kill every woman who has slept with a man). After surviving a truly horrific processing, she was sold to Dr. Kurt Van Heflin, to be a companion to his blind granddaughter Inga Van de Clerk. It wasn' t long before she became more than just a slave; she became part of the family. Not too long after beginning school, Abigail encountered a bully who pushed her down the stairs, breaking her arm. Because her arm was bothering her one night she learned the family' s secret; Dr. Van Heflin was helping the resistance fighters! She offered to help and the doctor agreed. What followed is a trilling and action-packed story of survival, resistance, love and search for safety amid a war that threatens to swallow the world.
