People like me, people like us… we never stood a chance. Faye is a girl who has been on the streets from the time she and her younger sister Echo were abandoned by their parents. Both their lives have been a struggle. The two of them have grown up street-savvy, stealing when necessary and never getting caught thanks to Faye’s abilities. Cosmic is a boy who has had an average life until his world fell apart at age seven. He’s kept a terrible secret for so long. His life has been a struggle. He wonders if he will ever be anything more than the monster he sees himself as. Both of them have had to fend for themselves until they found people they thought they could trust. But not even this trust could last forever. Neither one knows the other exists, that is, until fate brings them together. The two are thrown into the Wilderness—an entire world which has the sole purpose of disposing of criminals—but they are not about to give up that easily. Faye has her sister to live for, and she will never give up hope so long as there is life in her body. Her sister means the world to her, and Faye knows that Echo could never survive on her own. Cosmic is determined to survive just to spite the world and prove that he can’t be disposed of so easily. But his will to survive changes when he meets Faye.
