âAn immersive, fast-paced thrillerâ The Irish Times
Isabel Ryans has fled Espera, leaving behind her identity as teen assassin the Moth. Now sheâs trying to adjust to the reality of the outside world. But her grief and trauma are catching up with her, and surrounded by civilians who will never understand what life is like in the walled city, she feels more alone than ever.
When a journalist is murdered nearby, suspicion automatically falls on Isabel. And inside Esperaâs walls, the abolitionist movement is gaining strength. When Isabelâs search for the killer leads to an unexpected reunion, sheâs forced to decide whether she can really leave the city behind, and what part the Moth might have to play in the uprising.
Is Isabel Ryans the cityâs saviour . . . or its scapegoat?
