In a town where people are loyal to the only government they've ever known, Melody Verina Merrit is the outcast.
She believes that no woman deserves to be drafted, starting at the age of eleven, to have children with soldiers thirty years and up to form a "superior race". She believes that no child deserves to be taken away from their mothers at birth and casted into one of the thousands of overstuffed orphanages, where all they are taught is to trust no one other than the country's leaders. She believes that no one deserves to be told what they will do and when they will do it. She believes that one day, people will have the freedom to only have children when they feel they are ready, to love and trust whoever they feel are worthy, and to control their own destiny.
But she's the only person she's ever met who feels that way, because to express that you feel that way is illegal.
One day, though, she stumbles across a group. This group, despite the strict laws embedded into every citizen's brain, begins to state their honest thoughts of the dominating government. There, she met a boy who shares her same beliefs, and together, they plan not only to demolish the cruel administration, but to discover their own biological pasts.
Will these two friends succeed in their perilous mission? Who will they discover? What will they learn?
