Forced to flee for his life with his sister Capria, the siblings embark on a journey to find answers. What they discover entangles them in a plot to tear apart the very fabric of society and destroy the bands they wear.

BLURB: After three years of living in the same city, I think my family has finally done it. Not only have we set a new record for the longest time we’ve ever lived in one place, but we might actually be putting down roots. For the first time ever, I bother memorizing the address of our apartment in Shanghai. Then dad’s visa hits a snag and suddenly, we’re moving again, only this time to a completely foreign place–aka my passport country, America. It’s only for a short time, dad assures me. But if there’s one thing I know from being a TCK, it’s that traveling often rarely goes according to plan.
