- "Compelling and thought-provoking." **x2014; Kirkus Reviews Enjoy your Final Days. Escape a Natural Death with us. Come to Zalmon's Quiet End. In the city of Zalmon, every Life Event is predetermined: where you'll work, who you'll marry, when you'll die. On a tour of Central Processing, seventeen-year-old Darius inadvertently unveils shocking information about his beloved little sister, Mahlah. His impulsive reaction may make him a target of the sinister people who run Zalmon, and could doom Mahlah to a worse fate than the one Darius uncovered. Defying an unjust system, an unwanted Life Match, and an uncontrollable enemy, Darius fights to save Mahlah, leading him to expose a conspiracy at the heart of the city **x2014; and a potential life of autonomy, dignity, and love beyond what the Book of Zalmon dictates.
