Product description

Imagine a world split by racial hatred, where black is always right and white is wrong. Sephy and Callum have been friends since childhood. But when a girl at the heart of power loves a boy who counts for nothing, sooner or later the bomb will explode… Setting a tale of racial prejudice in an alternate historical reality, this tense, shocking book will turn your expectations inside out.
