by Manda Scott (Author)

Sometimes it takes a revolution to change the world,
sometimes it takes a relationship. The visionary new novel from Manda
Scott, author of the Boudica series.

When
Lan lies dying, she makes a promise that binds her long into the Beyond. A
decade later Kaitlin, her teenage granddaughter, posts a message about the
sexual exploitation of girls her age that goes viral. For one shining fragment
of time the world is with her. But then the backlash begins: Kaitlyn's digital
privacy is breached, her friends attacked and soon she and her family are
besieged by the paparazzi, facing the all-powerful wrath of the old establishment. Raised
to question authority, Kaitlyn persuades her now-massive social media following
to help her fight back. She and her brother unleash the rage of a whole, failed
generation for their youth. Watching
over the growing chaos from the Beyond is Lan, the matriarch who taught her
grandkids to think independently, approach power sceptically and dream
deeply. She knows that more one generation's hopes are on the line. She
has to show this new generation that is only with courage and conviction, and
an inherited faith in ancient wisdom and the power of the land, that this new
uprising will survive and thrive to become the springboard for something much
greater: a movement to sweep us all through the crisis of our times.
