Conquering the Divide: The Legend of Barsicon (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780228863120)

WILL SHE MAKE IT OVER THE WALL?

Barsicon is a war-torn world divided. A towering wall separates Light City from The Darkness; metropolis from countryside, rich from poor, saints from sinners.

There are seven steps at the wall's main gates. Once a week, a brave Light Seeker emerges from The Darkness and attempts to scale these seven levels as they endure formidable tests of physical, mental and spiritual strength. Success means a better life for them and their family in glorious Light City. Failure equals instant death.

Sixteen year old Seneca Ellis-Brant is the youngest Light Seeker in Barsicon history. Saturday night, she will put a lifetime of training to the penultimate test. But is life on the other side of the wall worth fighting for? Seneca hopes she lives long enough to find out.
