Poverty has plagued Australia for the last 200 years, turning the once prosperous land of opportunity into a hostile desert of severe oppression. When new laws are made to further suppress any uprising, the population are divided, fighting each other for what they believe is right. Can Kyra Avedel save her little brother and sister from a future as slaves, or are they all doomed?
Kyra Avedel, a brave, head-strong girl who lives to provide for her family, is determined to finish school, on her terms. In her final year, when it seems that her wish of graduating will finally be granted, the law is made that Relang Citizenship will come at a cost. A cost too high for the poor.
Together with Blake Anderson, a mysterious boy new to town who sees right through her tough-girl façade, and family who she's not sure she can trust, Kyra will unlock the secrets of her past to save everyone she holds dear.
Haunted by fractions of memory and light: a teddy bear, a hospital room and a blue-eyed boy, she has to decide to trust what is real, to be cautious about appearances and to always watch her back. 
The future of everyone she loves lies on the shoulders of the girl with the messed up past and the ability to throw knives.

"Three weeks. That's how long I got to have drama-free. I'm not sure what is happening to me or to Oakwood. Nothing's the same since I rolled into town and it just keeps getting weirder. Suspicious agents in suits roam the streets without an explanation. They're staring straight at me. The new Chemistry teacher is NOT who he says he is. I'm doing things I never thought I could. Like, mutant-level things... Lauren, Luc's dead twin sister, hid something from everyone. Something important that may have lead to her demise and that could lead to ours. Hunters are in town. I never knew four words could contain so much dread and terror. I'd rather deal with the Wanderers. I'm on the brink of a breakdown. I need help..." BOOK #2 IN THE SERIES! Ignorance is not bliss... In the wake of ridding Oakwood of Wanderers, other dangers come creeping in and they're somehow linked to Luc's absent twin. The past returns to haunt the mutants in inconspicuous ways. Riley's life is yet again in jeopardy, but this time she's not alone. Luc and his family are all thrown into the teetering balance. More secrets are uncovered. A trap dawns on them all. Invisible threats start crawling from all directions. Who is the real enemy? TW : behaviours of depression and PTSD are displayed. I don't name them, but one of the character will be struggling a lot. It may not be suitable for everybody. Other adult matters are briefly included, but nothing explicit or intense. Rewriting specifications : the main points of the story and end of the book will remain the same, am just going to change a few ways of getting there and adding some extra spice. Feel free to pause the read until the REWRITING sign disappears.

Anastasiya has been alone since before she could remember. She's used to abuse, to torment, to being a victim to bullies and their nasty ways. She doesn't have a family, and she's okay with that. That's the way it's always been. Until it isn't. She's pulled out of her school lesson on the day of her thirteenth birthday by her new guardian: her oldest brother. She's thrusted into a new life - although it doesn't differ from her last one too much. Surrounded by a family she feels doesn't care for her and other children who make it their personal mission to ruin Anastasiya's already terrible days, she's forced to deal with a whirlwind of emotions that plague her as well as combat the plethora of problems that come to her while being completely alone, with nobody by her side.
