About This Book

The sharp clang of metal gates echoes through the air, mixing with the distant hum of a city split in two. On one side, Zoe lives surrounded by walls and safety; on the other, Daz navigates the smoky shadows of forgotten streets. When their worlds collide, will their friendship survive the barriers that keep them apart?
