What if the squelching of emotions promised a peaceful, perfect community? Would you give up your right to feel? What if your nano-chip - a device that diminished your passions - wasn't working and you kept having these dreams that urged you to find a forbidden book that promised to change everything? These are the questions Mira faces in Pillar's Fire. Her life and her safe world are at stake - especially because she can't hide her feelings for the alluring Nash, who happens to be a Reformer tasked with preserving the peace at any cost. The powerful feelings prompt her to follow her dreams...only betrayal lurks around the corner and the enemy is much bigger than she'd imagined.
