Synopsis
The real world is waiting. It's Sage Indarra's final year at the Institution, and she's more than ready to leave this place behind. As far as Eprah knows, she's been playing by their rules. She's worked hard, setting herself up for coveted assignments-the kind that come with perks. Like helping her live longer. If things go as planned, she has a real chance of surviving outside the walls of the Institution. But nothing's final until graduation. And getting through her last year without incurring Eprah's wrath is going to be harder than she thought with a jealous classmate out to ruin her life. This is the tenth book in the gripping dark dystopian Sacrisvita series. Perfect for fans of George Orwell's 1984, Aldous Huxley's A Brave New World, or Suzanne Collins' The Hunger Games.
