In fifty years, Myrra Dal will be free. Until then, she's a contract worker in a world that demands her sacrifice. Ever since she was five years old, her life and labor have belonged to the higehst bidder on her contract - butchers, laundries, and now the elite, secretive Carlyles . But when one night finds the Carlyles dead, Myrra is suddenly free a lot sooner than she anticipated - and at a cost she never could have imagined. Burdened with the Calrlyles' orphaned daughter and the terrible secret they died to escape, she bolts. With time running out, Myrra must come face-to-face with the truth about her wolrd - and embracewhat's left before it's too late.
