In Mary's universe, some basic realities apply. Sisterhood is always the wisest. The Guardians are here to serve and guard. Never will the Unconsecrated give up. The settlement is surrounded by a barrier that keeps the Forest of Hands and Teeth at bay, so you must constantly be mindful of it. But Mary is gradually losing faith in her facts. She’s learning things she never wanted to know about the Sisterhood and its secrets, and the Guardians and their power, and about the Unconsecrated and their relentlessness. When the fence is breached and her world is thrown into chaos, she must choose between her village and her future—between the one she loves and the one who loves her. She also has to accept the reality of the Forest of Hands and Teeth. With all the mortality all around, could there possibly be life elsewhere?
