But when outlaws attack government supply ships and settlements, Ty, joined by a girl from Topside named Gemma, finds himself in a fight to save the only home he has ever known. Together, they venture into the frontier's rough underworld and discover dark secrets that threaten to destroy everything.

Intermix: to mix together, blend.

North America, paragon of diversity, is gone. From its ashes, a new nation has arisen – Renatus – where the government segregates the surviving population into races, forbidding interracial marriage, mating, and love.

Eighteen-year-old Nazirah Nation is a pariah, an intermix, born of people from different races. When her parents are murdered in the name of justice, Nazirah grudgingly joins the growing rebellion fighting against the despotic government.

Overwhelmed with grief, consumed by guilt, Nazirah craves vengeance as a substitute for absolution. But on her journey to find the girl she once was, Nazirah must learn the hard way that nothing … no one … is purely black or white. Like her, every human is intermix, shades and hues of complex emotions. And those who can take everything away are also the ones who can give everything back.

Hiç uykum yok. Hiç uyuyamıyorum. Domuz gibi içiyorum. Ama gözlerimi kapalı bile tutamıyorum. Sabaha beş saat var. Annemi düşünüyorum. Nerededir şimdi? Aynada kendime bakıyorum bazen. Ve tek kelime etmesem bile vücudum yaşadıklarımı, hayattan ne anladığımı anlatmaya yetiyor.

Sağ omzuma kendi çizdiğim kelebek, beğenmediğim için üzerine attığım çarpı işareti ve altında aynı kelebeğin bir Japon tarafından çok daha iyi işlenmişi. Sol dirseğimin iki parmak yukarısındaki kurşun yarası. Bileklerimdeki otuz dört dikiş. Medeniyeti bir aralar, herkes gibi yaladığımı kanıtlayan apandisit ameliyatımın izi. Ve sırtımı kaplayan, Tanrı'nın yüzü. Bilmiyorum... Hızlı yaşadım. Ama genç ölmekten çok, hızlı yaşadım! Ancak hayattayım.

Kayra, bir gün bana 'Mutsuzluğuna hiçbir çare aramıyorsun' demişti.
