Über das Buch
His friends and family would say it started when he got arrested. He knows it started long before that. Seventeen-year-old CHRISTIAN GRANT has spent the last two years in a drunken haze. He clutches a bottle to release the grip his nightmares have on him and to forget a friend’s cold-case disappearance, another friend’s frightening sickness and the suffocating stigma of being a nobody from Oasis. The truth comes out when he is found hanging upside down from his seatbelt, trapped inside the wreckage of his truck, and he is arrested for drunk driving. Sobriety proves to be difficult for him after he gets out of jail, but the way his world shifts proves it to be worth it. Christian lives in a world divided. Several decades ago, the world split into four Quarters—Northern, Eastern, Southern, and Western—then branched out into Territories and further into Regions. The Region of Oasis, ironically named, is a crumbling hellhole rebuked by the rest of the Quarter; its citizens are unkindly referred to as Nobodies. Each Quarter is ruled by a Council, and in the Northern Quarter, a secretive Councilman is slowly squashing the life out of Oasis. All his life, Christian believed he’d never get out, but when he returns home to a mysterious message on his wall—sys—and an enigmatic new girl in school named VICTORIA WINTER, he begins to think otherwise. Not even SAM WILLIAMS, Christian’s best friend, can decode the message, nor can he provide any answers for the mysterious presence in Christian’s nightmares. The questions are unavoidable and unbearable until Christian stumbles upon some answers about his family, his past, and himself, and comes to two horrifying understandings. He sees connections he previously overlooked and finds out some questions are better left unresolved. His discovery starts him on a journey he never believed he’d go on… and that he may not be ready for. His friends and family would say it started when he got arrested. He knows it started long before that.
