A short story.

"Breathe, Hannah. In the nose. Out the mouth. Remember," Father said, "they need us."

More than twenty years before Edan rushed Hannah into a revolution she wasn't ready for... Before the moon and stars and the Watcher... There was Jonathan, and there was Esma.

This is their story.

Tensions rise in the valley as new, unwarranted laws mean harsher punishments, and the Workers are left terrified and confused. Eighteen-year-olds Jonathan Bakker and Esma Salgado forge an unshakable friendship as the gray world they've grown up in crumbles around them. But even in the darkness of grief, hope flickers from the most unlikely places. And though the promise of freedom is now out of reach, the two must decide how they will live out their years in slavery: defeated... or with purpose.
