Summary

Summary

Samara is one of the Knowing, and the Knowing do not forget. Hidden deep in the comfort and splendor of her underground city, a refuge from the menace of a coming Earth, Samara learns what she should have never known and creates a memory so terrible she cannot live with it. So she flees, to Canaan, the lost city of her ancestors, to Forget.

Beckett has flown through the stars to find a dream: Canaan, the most infamous social experiment of Earth’s antiquity. Beckett finds Samara in the ruins of the lost city, and uncovers so much more than he ever bargained for—a challenge to all he’s ever believed in or sworn to. When planets collide and memories clash, can Samara and Beckett save two worlds, and remember love in a place that has forgotten it?

At once thought-provoking and utterly thrilling, this extraordinary companion novel to Sharon Cameron’s The Forgetting explores the truth and loss that lie within memory and the bonds that hold us together.

“Emily Woo Zeller’s portrayal of Samara is reflective of her character, especially the struggles she deals with and the memories that plague her…Andrew Eiden’s narration is perfect for Beck’s point of view. Both voices help create a story that is well described and pulls listener into its world.” AudioFile
“An elaborate dystopian narrative that fairly prickles with suspense…Masterful characterizations, world-building, and pacing make for irresistible reading…Cameron is a writer of prime caliber.” School Library Journal
“Cameron’s complex exploration of what it means to live with a lifetime of memories is fascinatingly developed…Both a politically charged adventure and culture study, this thought-provoking dystopia stands firmly on its own.” Booklist (starred review)
“Diverse, well-drawn characters abound…Intricately woven narrative threads come together in a suspenseful denouement sure to leave readers hoping for another installment.” Kirkus Reviews
