Trapped by an evil dictatorship, will Cristian be forced to betray his family, or will he risk everything he loves to resist? A bestselling YA thriller based on real events from a prizewinning author. Cristian has lived his entire life in the grip of a repressive dictatorship. The country is governed by fear.

When the secret police blackmail him, Cristian has an impossible choice. Save the life of his sick grandfather by informing on his family, or risk his life - and all of theirs - by resisting? At 17, Cristian dreams of being free but doesn't know where to turn. In this climate of constant suspicion, can he trust his best friend, his girlfriend or even his family?

Closely based on the real events of the Romanian Revolution of 1989, this is a powerful, heart-breaking thriller from the author of Salt to the Sea, winner of the Carnegie Medal.
