Rowan is a Second Child in a world where population control measures make her an outlaw, marked for death. She can never go to school, make friends, or get the eye implants that will mark her as a true member of Eden. Her kaleidoscope eyes will give her away to the ruthless Center government.

Outside of Eden, Earth is poisoned and dead. All animals and most plants have been destroyed by a man-made catastrophe. Long ago, the brilliant scientist Aaron al Baz saved a pocket of civilization by designing the EcoPanopticon, a massive computer program that hijacked all global technology and put it to use preserving the last vestiges of mankind. Humans will wait for thousands of years in Eden until the EcoPan heals the world.

As an illegal Second Child, Rowan has been hidden away in her family's compound for sixteen years. Now, restless and desperate to see the world, she recklessly escapes for what she swears will be only one night of adventure. Though she finds an exotic world, and even a friend, the night leads to tragedy. Soon Rowan becomes a renegade on the run – unleashing a chain of events that could change the world of Eden forever.

A pior distopia que já li na vida (e eu li Estilhaça-me rs). A narrativa passa muito tempo, ou melhor, o desperdiça, tentando se levar a sério e esmigalhar o universo da história, mas é tudo muito mal feito. Sabe aquela sensação de que ele foi feito cem vezes antes e melhor? Porque foi. Leia Feios. Autoconsciente de suas limitações e foca em um público-alvo bem jovem, contrário a este, que só tenta se mostrar entre as distopias adultas com boas fundações.
