No body, no evidence, no motive. Only my guilt remains.
Opal Parnell has grown up on the rugged shore of Tidbury Bay, so far north that strangers need a reason to come here. But beyond her safe harbor, citizens across the North American Republic are vanishing, and the authorities have no leads.
Opal scarcely notices, preoccupied with her childhood sweetheart. Opal assumed she and Billy would marry one day. Then her little sister Ruby grew up, and Billy noticed. Ever dutiful, Opal works her shift at the cannery, tends her aging grandfather, and hides her broken heart. Until the night Billy realizes he’s chosen the wrong sister. The night Ruby catches them together. The night Ruby disappears.
Opal sets out to find her but soon realizes the disappearances aren’t as mysterious as reports indicate. They’ve been orchestrated by forces intent on provoking a revolution. Opal can’t hope to thwart them alone. But if she doesn’t recover her sister, guilt will never allow her to settle into a life with Billy.
For dystopian fans of Delirium by Lauren Oliver and Matched by Allie Condie.
