For more than ten years, Mariah’s worn the robe and hood. She’s gone to the rallies, carried the torches. For more than ten years, she’s toed the line. She’s been the good Klan daughter her father expected her to be—there were no other options. At least, that’s what she’d grown up believing. But Mariah’s junior year changes everything. Her life suddenly becomes more dangerous—and yet better—all at once. Taking a leap that will test the strength of the chains that have bound her all her life, Mariah might break free, but that freedom may cost her more than she could have ever imagined.

Kassia experiences adventures that take her on the full range of fortune's wheel, and each setting is beautifully described.
