Synopsis

Debut author Meagan Spooner splashes onto the YA literary scene with this thrilling blend of fantasy and science fiction. Lark Ainsley has waited for years to be selected for the harvest- when a child's magic is taken to supply energy for the City. It's a rite of passage, marking the end of childhood. Yet when Lark's name is finally called, she discovers she's a Renewable, with enough magic to supply the City with power for the rest of her life. Now, to escape becoming a human battery, Lark must make a run for it- out of the City, beyond the Wall, and into the unknown.
