The thrilling sequel to Anomaly, winner of a Victorian Premier's Literary Award, a NSW Literary Award and an Aurealis Award, and shortlisted for multiple awards, including an Australian Book Industry Award.

Piper Manning is destined to save the world.

But in the wake of all the mistakes she made in Eden, it’s hard to see herself as any kind of hero.

Even under the guidance of her new mentor, Raddock, the challenge set before her feels impossible. It doesn't help that her relationship with Seth is more complicated than ever, Frankie is haunted by visions she can't decipher, and Aaron's grief poses a lurking threat.

When Piper discovers a terrifying truth that upends everything she thought she knew, she must decide how to move forward ... and what it means to accept your fate.

The pulse-pounding second book in the award-winning Children of Fate trilogy.
