WHEN LANGUAGE IS A CRIME, ONLY THE TRUTH CAN SET YOU FREE.Harper Adams was six years old in 2012 when an act of viral terrorism wiped out one half of the countrys population. Out of the ashes rose a new government, dedicated to maintaining order at any cost. The populace is controlled via government-sanctioned sex and drugs, a brutal police force known as the Blue Coats, and the slate, a mandatory implant that monitors every word a person speaks. To utter a forbidden, Red Listed word is to risk physical punishment or even death.But there are those who resist. Guided by the fabled Book of Noah, they are determined to shake the people from their apathy, and are prepared to start a war in the name of freedom. The newest member of this resistance is Harper-a woman driven by memories of a daughter lost, a daughter whose very name was erased by the Red List. And she possesses a power that could make her the underground warriors ultimate weapon-or the instrument of their destruction.
