Since witnessing her parents' murders at the age of eleven, Phoenix's only purpose in life has been to uphold her mother's dying words- to be strong and survive.

Review:
This is quite possibly one of the best dystopian stories I have read in a long time. The characters had depth and were compelling, I truly cared about what happened to them throughout the book. The story was engaging and intriguing giving just enough information to make you want more. The setting was so well described I could perfectly picture it in my head. And that cliffhanger is a killer! Very much looking forward to the next book in this new to me trilogy.
