In the City, a large nation right smack in the middle of the United States, the citizens are safe. They live peacefully among themselves never wishing to leave, to roam out of the Boundaries. The place outside is actually scarily unknown to the people of the City. The Nation, which is the area that lies around the City is an old, yet largely inhabited amount of land that no one in the City knows about. Yet they are about to make their appearance in the world of the City people. Saidrienne Parks, the daughter of the rich Brunswick Parks, lives a simple yet complicated life. The City knows her as Brunswick's daughter, but is that how she wants to be known as in the graveyard? She hates the life her father has led for her and wants to change things when one day, things change on their own. Her father's assistant, Evadne, comes down with a rare ailment that has become increasingly popular in the past few weeks. She doesn't hear about it under her father's orders, but when it comes to the Outbreak, there are no orders. She is suddenly thrust into a world where she is constantly supervised and guarded. She cannot leave her Confinement until the moment she dies. For real. Scared, and rushed, Saidrienne encounters many small changes that ultimately result in her becoming ill. Things seem to be ending for this girl, once held so innocent from the world, and things are about to get much worse as her almost certain end nears. Fighting it doesn't help. Nothing can. 'The moment the world stops turning for me is a moment I don't want to see. Things have changed so fast for me now and my life is yet incomplete. But darkness is enveloping me. Just as it would a child of the night. Only I am not a child of the night. I am a child of the Dead.' Will she live on to be Saidrienne Parks, or will she die as Brunswick Parks' widely unknown daughter to the City?

"But just look at the world around you, Love. There's messes everywhere with unclear answers. Don't give up yet." She told me gently. "I know, but I just wish that this was less confusing." "Well, things are gonna get confusing after a while, but you can't just stop trying. You've got to search harder for the answer; maybe it's somewhere you haven't looked yet. Someday you'll trip over a rock that's harder than this, and bandaids won't just stare you in the face. You won't know what to do. So prepare yourself for that day, baby." "I'm gonna trip over a rock?" I asked, eyes widening with worry. She shook her head, the bubbly symphony of her laughs echoing in the room. "No. I mean you're going to be in trouble one day and you won't know how to get out of it. Like this, but tougher." "You mean I'll have to go through this again? But even harder? Ugh, I won't make it." I sighed heavily. "No. I know you will. It just won't be so black and white. It'll be....in between the two." "So it'll be just grey?" She revealed her big, beautiful smile to me as if I had understood all that is right and wrong in the world. Kissing the top of my head, she whispered, "Exactly." {full synopsis inside} Rankings- #16 in juveniles #94 in newkid #241 in multimedia FULLY EDITED VERSION NOW AVAILABLE ON AMAZON KINDLE!!
