From the rear cover
Several generations have passed since North America was struck by a meteor that changed life forever. Now Leora lives safely locked inside the walls of Village Three. Only the guards and croptenders are allowed outside, where the world is said to be undeveloped and dangerous. Leora doesn't know what is beyond those walls, but every day she wonders. She has heard stories of the ferocious birmbas -- half bear, half gorilla -- that were created after the meteor fell. Mutants cannot be trusted.
But Leora herself, with her hidden hand and her gift, is considered a defective. When she risks her life to free a baby birmba, she finds the courage to escape beyond the walls without any idea of what -- or whom -- she may find.
