In a colony where obedience is survival, fourteen-year-old Mira has always known how to keep her head down. But when she's assigned to the Outer Garden - a remote plot at the edge of the forest - she begins to see things she was never meant to see. A child watching from the trees. A trainer who disappears without explanation. And beyond the boundary she was warned never to cross, an entire village of people the colony has declared gone.
With patrol tightening and suspicion closing in, Mira begins smuggling food to the starving village one careful handful at a time. But the boy assigned to watch for people exactly like her has secrets of his own - and the girl Mira has been risking everything to help may be the one person he has never stopped looking for.
In a world built on silence, knowing the truth is dangerous. Acting on it is something else entirely.

Everyone Mira has ever known follows the rules. She did too - until the garden showed her what the rules were hiding. Now she's sneaking food past the watchmen, meeting a girl who was supposed to be gone, and trusting a boy whose job is to report her. In a colony that runs on silence, Mira is learning that some things are too important to stay quiet about.
