In the Enclave, your scars set you apart, & the newly born will change the future. In a world baked dry by the harsh sun, there are those who live inside the walled Enclave & those, like sixteen-year-old Gaia Stone, who live outside. Following in her mother&8217;s footsteps, Gaia has become a midwife, delivering babies born outside the wall & handing a"a over to the privileged society of the Enclave. Gaia has always believed this is her duty &8211; until the night her mother & father are arrested by the very people they so loyally serve. Now Gaia is forced to question everything she has been taught. Her choice is simple: enter the world of the Enclave to rescue her parents&8230; or die trying.
