Josiah has just awakened from what feels like a deep sleep, where he lived in a raucous colony of those who celebrate dark freedoms but are really trapped in a deception of the worst kind.
Fleeing to his grandfather’s, a place of light and hope, he discovers a gathering of LAMBers, who have escaped from the watchers. Learning of the power of the shout within himself, Josiah is chosen to carry the truth to those still imprisoned. But how can he return to the colony without being captured and put to death?
