Cassia a toujours fait confiance. Quand elle apprend qu'elle est promise à son meilleur ami, tout semble parfait. Jusqu'à une toute petite erreur du système, qui ne dure qu'une seconde.

En alternant les voix de Cassia et Ky, Ally Condie plonge dans l'intimité de ses personnages. Aux confins de la société, rien ne se passe comme prévu : doubles jeux et trahisons rendront leur parcours plus périlleux que jamais.
