Description
War was her life. Freedom was her dream.
From birth to death, The War is all the citizens of Dystance know. As children it is drilled into their heads that war is the purpose behind all existence. Winter doesn't agree. She's stumbled across remnants of life the way it was before The War began and now she longs to be as free as her ancestors. With help from her best friend Cedar and the boy she is forbidden to love, Tallow. She believes she can do it. Winter can see a life beyond the Pickets, beyond the constant hunger and the threat of death, beyond the war machine. Can one teenage girl and her dream of a better life really change the whole world?

The setting could easily be medieval or futuristic or a combination of both, the world that Winter has been born into is brutal, harsh and unforgiving. Born to fight and die in a war that has been raging since before their history can recall, at eight years, she is taken from the relative comfort and safety of a loveless childhood and thrust into a savage life where every breath taken could be your last, starvation is a sad reality and death is your constant companion. And if somehow you manage to survive to adult hood, in this case to your eighteenth year, you have to privilege of going to war and dying. That is the sad reality for the people of Dystance. But Winter dreams of more, knows that there has to be something else beyond her small world. One day while hunting for food she accidently falls into a hole where she and Tallow discover more knowledge than they know what to do with. Knowledge that will change her life and those around her in ways she never imagined or could possibly prepare for. Mark Tufo has masterfully woven a YA tale of desperation, despair, hope and adventure with several twist that will leave any true Tufo fan very happy with his choice of characters as familiar places, names and events unfold. And mysteries and questions will abound. I do advise caution, because of the harsh circumstances of Winters life the story has a dark beginning, but you will not be disappointed as the old familiar Tufo trademark sneaks in there in the form of a very precocious Cedar. This looks to be the beginning of another great series!

This is a book for those Dystopian fans out there. The characters are well established and have good continuity through the story, Because of this its easy to identify with Winter, Cedar & Tallow, and makes you want to keep reading. The book has amazing twist and turns and even some romance thrown in. All in all I liked the book!!!
