"Fear not for the future, weep not for the past." -Percy Bysshe Shelley
97 after the nuclear apocalypse, planet Earth is left simmering in radiation, while the rest of mankind remains in space. No one has been to the ground ever since the bombs wipe out everything...or so they thought. What happens when the Chancellor decides to send all 100 child and teenage criminals down to the ground? What will happen when, among them, is a tiny, 5-year-old girl by the name of Beatrice Wisdom Ward? They will soon overcome many feats; poisoned knives, a bloody plague, and even a bridge bombing. With all that experience with them, will they be able to defeat the enemies in a brutal battle that will decide everything from their near future, to possibly the end of their lives?
With Beatrice's new family by her side, will any of them survive, or will they be picked off one by one?

Cora was very well known in the ark, when she and 99, plus one, others were sent to the ground she struggled to adapt to the new surroundings as did everyone else. She faced the challenges of mentally self preparation of what secrets the Earth held within. 'Why was she arrested?' hardly anyone asked because they knew what Cora had done why she was locked up for nine years of her life. In the process of all she deals with the pain of new kinds of love and being able to trust people after so many years of distrust. Falling for a boy whose sister was your sell mate isn't as easy as it sounds. But this story isn't just about love, because once a hardass always a hardass.
