Boundary

In this exhilarating sequel, Eva is a beacon of hope and vengeance in a dark new world, from the author of Relic.

After becoming the first female Archon in Aerie's history, Eva finds herself in the halls of power and betrothed to Jasper, one of her competitors from the Testing. But she is further than ever from Lukas, the Boundary man who helped her train, and taught her the truth about the relics from the old world. In the eyes of his people, who are outcasts from Aerie, Eva is the chosen one . . .

Caught between two worlds and two men, Eva is sent on her first excavation as an Archon. Underneath the ice of the Frozen Shores lies the Genesis, the vessel of the Founders. And in its mysterious chambers, Eva will discover forbidden fictions cloaked as truth that could lead her to her twin brother's killer--and bring society crashing down around her . . .

"Evokes similarities to milestone end-of-the-world tales such as Sheri Tepper's mind-bending The Gate to Women's Country and S. M. Stirling's very satisfying series, The Change. They all immerse readers in an otherworldly environment where the usual social rules are upended in hard-to-survive ways." --Pittsburgh Post-Gazette

"Terrell has created a unique dystopian novel set in the future, but where the people of the New North live by almost medieval rules and standards. Eva, ever the rule-following young maiden, is struggling with learning the truth about the past and how it fits into her and her people's future." --Voice of Youth Advocates (VOYA)
