The conclusion of a dystopian series where the leaders of the rebellion believe they can save the world from repeating the environmental destruction of the past by limiting people's ability to speak.
"If babies never hear a single word, they will never learn to speak."
The battle for Ark seems to be over. As a teenager, Leeta has found herself an unexpected hero, both for murdering one of the the leaders and for teaching the refuge's children the lost words. But the new ruler of Ark is even crueler than her predecessor, and Letta is horrified to find that they are stealing babies so they can get rid of language once and for all: if babies never hear a single word, they will never learn to speak. Letta learns that winning a rebellion is hard when there is evil on both sides and the leaders of the other side are family.
