To See The Night
"Delusions are easy to believe when your eyes are closed."
When the world was ravaged by nuclear warfare, the City was there to pick up the pieces. They said it was a haven, a place where you would be safe. All you had to do was stay inside and obey the emperor. Their most important rule: never go Outside.
Nimwi has lived Outside almost her entire life, her brother and a group of rebels her only family. Despite being blind, Nimwi’s greatest desire was to take down the people who killed her parents and enslaved millions. Through an act of trickery, she gets her chance, and it blows up in her face. Everything she loves is taken from her and she is sent to the place she hates the most.
In the City, she’s given a gift she never thought possible. But to keep it and her life she must join the household of the Heir, the son of the emperor. Nimwi makes her choice and she must live with the consequences, discovering secrets of the City and of herself in the process. In the end, she is left asking one question: Whose side am I on?
