But someone is rigging events to learn her secret, and if it gets out it could jeopardize her entire family and cost her any chance at freedom.

CeeCee hates how different she feels from everyone around her. But she doesn’t know what being different truly means until she lands in the magical, terrifying world of the Byways, a place that does its best to save those who are different–but also exacts a steep price if you fail its tests.
