The world has no beauty. One city survived The End, and relies solely on their government run by the Alpha. There are no names, only citizen numbers given to individuals. Names are beauty. Beauty is destruction.

Someone else knows that she is different - that she is dangerous.

Danger must be extinguished.

As our heroine starts to discover a life beyond what she knew, she must realize how far she is willing to go 

to fight for it.
