Description
In a world where cities are numbered and each new “tenth” arrival reshapes the rules of survival, a young protagonist is pulled into a dangerous mystery that spans hidden histories and shifting loyalties. As clues surface and alliances fracture, the story follows a fast-moving quest to uncover what the next city truly means—and what it demands from those who enter. Blending high-stakes adventure with puzzles, mythic atmosphere, and escalating tension, the book explores themes of identity, fate versus choice, and the cost of uncovering truth. Patrick Carman’s distinctive, cinematic storytelling and knack for immersive world-building make this a gripping read for fans of mystery-driven fantasy and action-packed discovery.
