face, despite the wintry conditions, they are heading in the right directino. She also
knows that, according to the prophecy, she will die when they reach the homeland. She
grows weaker with every step. Hanno must keep up the spirits of the marchers on the
gruelling journey. There is dissent, wretched hardships and terrifying brushes with death.
Violent bandits abduct the young women; Captain Canobius attempts to poison them;
evil passion flies, lives are lost and all the time, they know they must reach the homeland

Morah. But there is also love in the air: Sisi loves Bowman; Pinto loves Mumpo; and other
new friendships and relationships are forged Mean while, Bowman waits for a summons
from the people of Sirene. It is a call that will mean he must leave his beloved family and
make the ultimate sacrifice to save his people. Kestrel, too, waits. But she doesn t know
what for, and she dreads it. Eventually, the summons comes. But, to his surprise, before

destroyed, in order to train Bowman for his future role.
