OmforI is in horrible condition. It is ruled by a horrible government called the Authority, which makes horrible laws, and punishes people who disobey in the slightest bit. If you read one minute to long, or you don't get enough money in one day, or anything that is considered imperfect, you are sent to the Punishment house, which is almost death. Guards, members of the Authority, patrol everything, and control everything.
Gemya lives in OmforI. She is very good at getting her way, and helps out many people in her village. She stands up for herself and those she cares for. She hates the Authority. And the Authority hates her. They fear she will become a rebel.
So, Gemya is "invited" (she's forced to go) to tour OmforI. Many people are touring as well, including the Leading Guard's son, Gemmo, a boy with a soft heart. Gemmo will never be a member of the Authority, and the Authority is almost positive he will become a rebel.
According to Gemmo, the tour is how the Authority is deciding whether to send Gemmo and Gemya to their deaths or not. And, over the tour, neither of them shows that they are loyal to the Authority, and they are both sent to a land where no life is anywhere nearby, and all they have to survive, is a single, worn jacket. And there's no escaping. The Authority's watching them closely.
