On your 14th birthday, you’re dead meat... Chilling SF adventure from international bestselling author Garth Nix. In a futuristic urban wasteland, evil Overlords have decreed that no child shall live a day past his fourteenth birthday.

The mysterious Shade – once a man, but now more like the machines he fights – recruits the few children fortunate enough to escape.

But the closer the children get, the more ruthless Shade seems to become...
