Family ties under government control

Hala’s brother, Urkesh, has lost his memories and is under government control, while Hala faces punishment as she tries to resist and protect those around her. Urkesh, meanwhile, must conceal his identity among his captors; his ability to spy on them may offer a way to help his sister and others. The two perspectives connect personal loss and family loyalty with resistance to political power, placing both siblings in danger as they work toward a chance to change their circumstances.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Teens and young adults interested in young adult political fiction

Book overview

THEIR LIVES HANG...

 

Despair.

The feeling when you're broken. When they've gotten to you. When those closest are hurting you.

That's what surrounds Hala.

Her brother doesn't remember who he is.

He doesn't remember who Hala is.

He doesn't remember anything.

He's under the control of the government.

Hala struggles to see hope, to see the light at the end of the tunnel. But every time she tries, she gets punished. But she can't back down. Not when everyone around her needs it.

Hala needs to gather every last shred of courage, of hope, of promise, even if it puts her life in danger.

 

BY A THREAD.

 

Urkesh doesn't remember anything. He doesn't remember what happened.

Until now.

And now, he is forced to live among his captors, pretending to be someone he isn't. Someone they want him to be.

But he has an edge. He can spy, sneak and record everything they're doing, everything they're hiding. It just might be enough to save everyone. To stop everything.

One wrong move could kill him...and his sister.
