Grey. All her life she had seen nothing but grey; and all her life she had felt nothing but hunger. She hungered for a taste of real food, a taste of freedom, a taste of colour. But Alena would always wear grey—she was born in a place where everyone is labeled and put to work, and the people on top made sure it stays that way.
    
    For a girl like Alena, happiness is an annual event and not a feeling. When two strangers appear at her door, Alena is given exactly what she wished for—a chance, a better fate.
    
    With a girl in red named Stella, they run away, cross the desert on a pirate ship, discover rain, and travel to the dead oceans, only to unearth secrets that have them running back towards the place they swore never to return to:
    
    The walled city of Salamangka.
