Publisher's Synopsis
Evalene Vandereth's adventure continues in the fast-paced second installment of the Number Series duology.
Evalene struggles to adjust to un-Numbered life, along with the rest of Eden. But none of that matters once she learns her mother, Pearl Vandereth, is still alive.
Smuggled out of the country during a failed rebellion ten years ago, Pearl's existence shakes Evalene's whole reality. There's only one thing she can do: find her.
Traveling to the Divided States from one territory to the next, Evalene hunts down a cold trail. But she never expects such an advanced nation to be so uncivilized. Between liars sending her in the wrong direction and hostile citizens, Evalene fears she'll never locate her mother.
And secretly, she's terrified Pearl may not want to be found...
