Forced underground by a series of devastating pandemics, the future of humanity hung in the balance. Until the discovery of 'Emergence'.
Back above ground almost a century later, purpose-built Towns help rehabilitate and inhabit the new world. In one such Town, quiet and unassuming Althea Walker is counting down what's left of her education with her best friend, Caleb. When the time comes to take part in an annual Emergence Ceremony, which attempts to trigger the innate ability to sustain - or terminate - life, Althea and Caleb can only hope for the best. Caleb must fulfil his family's fervent desire for an Emantur or risk being disowned and cast out forever, whilst Thea just wants to be... normal.
Not a haughty Emantur... and certainly not the dreaded Occidist. As the deep divisions between healer and executioner widen, Thea and Caleb must navigate a prejudiced Town harbouring its own deadly secrets - and a gift which threatens to pull them apart.
