Two families. Two loyalties. One decision to make. Fledgling pilot Jayden is one of the first generation to be born on the newly colonised planet of Osivirius. Now he's determined to get his family out of 'Wormsville', the part of the colony where people are little more than numbers. So when Commander Tun offers a huge reward for finding the location of the rebel base, he jumps at the chance. Nettle hates everything to do with the colony-especially the military arm-and is fiercely protective of the simple, grounded ways of the rebels. So when she and her brother Flint discover Jayden after he crash-lands, she's ready to slit his throat without a second thought. But as Flint nurses him back to health, Nettle's antipathy turns to empathy, and then an unwanted attraction. Jayden, meanwhile, has made secret plans to escape on a Masu, one of the giant flying cats the rebels ride, but when his chance to escape presents itself, he feels torn. His blood family still need him, but the lure of the valley might just prove stronger. The connection to nature of Avatar and the dystopian political struggle of The Hunger Games meet in this action-packed and thought-provoking science fantasy novella.
