Elite heiress Madeline Landry, who must forgo university for an arranged marriage, befriends the enigmatic David Dana. His ties to the Rootless slaves, who maintain the gentry's nuclear energy sources, force her to question her beliefs and contemplate rebellion. This futuristic science-fiction saga expertly blends elements of dystopias and nineteenth-century British fiction.
