She is the daughter of a famous traitor, and the press camped outside the school will do anything to catch a glimpse of her.Inside Chellingford, Matilda finds herself at the mercy of the staff, used as a tool to control her parents' behaviour in Australia.Beaten down and subdued, Matilda must reimagine herself as someone with agency, who can follow her own desires and fight her own battles.Simmering underneath the oppression, a resistance has been forming in the penal colony, and Matilda finds herself in the thick of the resistance's plans, only to face conflicting loyalties, inconvenient passion, and deadly consequences...
