Control. That's what Acacia's life tends to struggle against, and the continuous outside forces that rise up to inflict it. Ironically, control is what Acacia's life lacks-she helplessly watches as her life falls apart, caused first by the government and plague that wipes out everything she loves, then by dictatorships that arise in the ensuing chaos. Acacia spends her life discovering the evils of those that threaten her people's way of life and works hard to make sure that those she feels responsible for are having their needs met. The second installment of this new series, from the author of Destiny's Children: Joby, takes us backwards in time to learn about the terrifying, yet fascinating unfolding of events that led to Joby.
