Publisher's Synopsis
Freed from the Ambit and safely removed from the dangers that lurk in the Outside, it would have been easy for Britt and her loved ones to hide away, live quietly, and never look back. But when a contagious disease, known as the Delirium, threatens to consume Isla, Britt knows that if she doesn't act fast, she'll lose her daughter forever. Desperate to understand the disease and find the cure, Britt returns to the Outside, where she stumbles upon the mysterious puppeteers who silently lord over the Outsiders. There she unravels the truth about the disease, the source that indiscriminately spreads it and the dark reality that awaits those who try to stop it. As she is pushed to a personal breaking point, Britt is faced with the question of saving herself and her loved ones only or returning for those that are lost and most in need, as he late husband, James, would have. In the end, what she learns about herself and the world will leave you asking yourself what would you do, what would you choose, but above all else, what do you believe?
