In her youth, Sonya Kantor was the face of the Delegation, an oppressive surveillance state where “undesirable” conduct brings severe punishment, while sanctioned behavior offers rich rewards. Posters of a proud Sonya went up everywhere, her steely gaze staring out over the government’s slogan: What’s right is right. Years later, after a violent revolution, in a prison the size of a few city blocks called The Aperture, which houses all political prisoners associated with the previous regime, 27 year old Sonya is serving a life sentence. That is, until Alexander Price—a low-level bureaucrat working for the new government whose betrayal during the revolution got his family and hers killed—makes her a deal. If she can track down a young girl the Delegoiation “reassigned” to a different family, Sonya will be paroled. Now, Sonya finds herself digging through the Delegation’s—and her family’s—darkest secrets. To earn her freedom, and to save the lost child, she must delve deeper into the past than she ever wanted to… because when you’re the poster girl of the oppressors , absolution may be the hardest thing to find.
