Valhai

How would you feel if you had been thrown out to fend for yourself in the uninhabitable zone when you were four? And then, ten years later, retrieved, doped, and shipped off to another planet as an apprentice?

Six was inclined to think that things couldn't get much worse, but that was before he was thrown into a cell with Diva – some Coriolan Elder's daughter who couldn't believe she would have to travel in the same space as a Kwaidian no-name!

On Valhai, The Sellites live their lives shut inside skyrises. So it's a big deal for Grace to pluck up the courage to defy regulations and venture outside onto the planet – a small first step that will lead to giant changes in her life.

She is the only person who can save the donor apprentices – but if she does it will ruin her family, and change her planet forever.
