Now it’s been three months since Celia’s disappearance, and Kasey has given up hope. But no one could have predicted that Celia would take a boat out to sea, never to return. Popular and lovable, Celia much preferred the outside world. While Kasey, an introvert and loner, doesn’t mind the lifestyle, her sister Celia hated it. Their residents, in exchange, must spend at least a third of their time in stasis pods, conducting business virtually whenever possible to reduce their environmental footprint. With natural disasters on the rise due to climate change, eco-cities provide clean air, water, and shelter. The eco-city she calls home is one of eight levitating around the world, built for people who protected the planet―and now need protecting from it. In a world apart, 16-year-old STEM prodigy Kasey Mizuhara is also living a life of isolation. Determined to find her, Cee devotes her days to building a boat from junk parts scavenged inland, doing everything in her power to survive until the day she gets off the island and reunites with her sister. All she knows is that somewhere out there, beyond the horizon, she has a sister named Kay. Cee has been trapped on an abandoned island for three years without any recollection of how she arrived, or memories from her life prior.
