The story of a girl who reaches for new heights in a society willing to go to great depths to stop her
Mena is a 13-year-old destined to be chosen as one of her society's future child bearers. While for every other girl her age this is a great honor, to Mena it's an unfair burden. Instead, she'd rather compete against boys in swim competitions, but she's thwarted by the rules of society. Undaunted, she fights for her right and in the process learns the truth about the death of her brother, who was killed before she was born. In the end, she risks her life and her reputation by daring to reach for a place no one has dared go for 200 years.
