At the end of the twenty-fifth century, two young women in search of their history, uncover dangerous secrets and create some of their own.
Elidir is not on any official map. A dome protects its citizens from the raging storms and deadly heat outside. High walls protect them from the desert people, known as the Non-Grata. In this secret city, deep beneath a mountain, lie the remains of Western civilisation. Here, Isobel, Fallow, rebel, and ongoing disappointment to her parents, forms an unlikely friendship with Mo Llewelyn, Pure, a descendant of a long-dead warlord, and daughter of the Chief of police. Together they solve a 400-year-old murder and uncover more than they ever bargained for.

Fantasy? Or a prophecy of a dystopian reality? I like the way the author blends some of my favorite genres, with a non- overbearing message to us to take care of our Earth and of one another. I'll look forward to the next installment, and in the meantime I'll also start another series of the author's that begins with The Boy Who Fell from the Sky.
