Sixteen-year-old Rumi Sabzwari has spent his entire life behind the armored walls of Upper City St. Iago. But when his father is infected with a mysterious virus, Rumi escapes St. Iago to search for a cure in the outside world, which he knows only as “Lower City.”
In the ruins of Paraíso, Rumi meets fifteen-year-old Paz, who agrees to guide him on his journey. As they travel together, Rumi finds himself drawn to Paz—and behind her tough exterior, she begins to feel the same way. But Paz also has a deadly secret that she must keep from Rumi at all costs: she’s a spy for the very rebels who infected his father in the first place.
Weaving together the voices of two characters struggling to find their place in a starkly unequal world, UNDER THIS FORGETFUL SKY explores how our connections to one another can lead to violence, but also to understanding, to solidarity, and to hope.”
