SEVENTEEN-YEAR-OLD TEMPE was born into a world of water. With only a few islands remaining after the Great Waves hit centuries ago, Tempe spends her days diving, scavenging the ruins of a bygone era for anything of value. But it's not food or shelter she wants to barter for; it's a life. For on the island of Palindromena, the dearly departed can be briefly resur-rected—for a steep price. And Tempe will pay anything for the chance to confront her sister about the secret she died keeping. But once revived, her sister, Elysea, has other plans. She doesn't want to spend her remaining hours atoning for a crime she insists she didn't commit. Instead she persuades Tempe to break her out of the facility, and together they embark on a dangerous journey to discover the truth about their past and mend their broken bond. But Palindromena will stop at nothing to bring them back before the truth behind the revival process and the ultimate cost of restored life is revealed. Bestselling author Astrid Scholte thrills once again in this fast-paced mystery destined to stay with readers long after the last page.
