In a world divided in two, sisters Nara and Osha may hold the key to reuniting it. A century after a devastating virus, Isfalk is divided into two classes: the Branded, who are susceptible to disease, and the Pure, who are stronger and immune. Orphaned twins Nara and Osha are confined in the citadel, where their unbranded skin grants them a privileged life, albeit as valuable breeding stock. Nara yearns to return to the wilds of the Fornwood, where she and Osha grew up, but when they are ambushed and kidnapped by Wasteland traders, they learn that life outside the safety of the Walls is harsh, and the perilous journey across the Wastelands is only the beginning. When Nara discovers she possesses mysterious powers linked to her exceptional hunting abilities, the sisters are forced to seek the assistance of an untrustworthy Brand known only as the Wrangler. As she becomes more proficient in her skills and dangerously closer to the Wrangler, she realizes that her newfound gifts could be the key to their escape and the balance of power in Isfalk.
