YA
In a crumbling world that is mostly centered on surviving a horrific plague, seventeen-year-old Araby becomes involved in a plot to overthrow the evil leader. Permanently damaged by loss, Araby is a compelling and ideal protagonist through which to view this grim setting. The complex layers of who is using whom, and to what ends, add a mystery element to the disturbing novel.
