    In the city of Agora, every family has to pay a ransom for every child they bring into the world due to the over increasing population. And the ones who can't pay the required 20,000 rashes, unwillingly force their offspring into becoming an outsider and obtaining a lowly paid life when they're found out. Because of this Blaire Willowby has never set foot in the outside world. All her life she has been kept inside, hidden away at the very sound of a door knock. Except all that changes on her sixteenth birthday and Blaire finally has the chance to leave her dungeon and explore Agora. However it suddenly goes horrifically wrong and her world is turned into chaos as she is forced to run for her life or join the many other illegal children who stalk the city as workers for the workhouse - the believed and rightful home of many for the Illegimates. But that doesn't stop Blaire and her now found friends especially the smartass Knight from escaping the hardships inside, only to fall upon a life threatening plan that will affect all the Illegimates. Will Blaire and her friends be able to stop before it's too late for all of them?

    It's strange to think how sometimes the smallest events have the largest effects on future generations. How the choices of our predecessors still greatly effect our everyday life. If Richard's paternal grandparents had never escaped from Poland to England, and his maternal grandparents hadn't have spent so much time in the workhouse, then he wouldn't be here. Their tragedy gave him the chance to live. As a child abused by a failed government scheme. As a war hero. As a man who had lived in more countries than he had toes on his right foot. He would live to make his ancestors proud.
