Syd has been a Proxy for as long as he can remember. He has never known who his Patron is, because
no one does, but his Patron is always getting into trouble. When his Patron gets into trouble, it’s Syd
who is punished. His Patron paid for his
upbringing and schooling and in return, Syd is required to pay when his Patron
breaks the law. He only has two years
left on his debt when his Patron kills a girl in a car accident and Syd is
about to be sentenced to more than ten years in a work camp. Instead, he escapes and attempts to find a
way to get a fake i.d. set up so that he can escape the city. That is when he meets his Patron, Knox, who
actually feels guilty about the accident, the girl’s death, and Syd’s
subsequent punishment. Knox is the one
who can help Syd get a new identity and, considering the circumstances, he
agrees to do so. But both of their lives
are about to become much more complicated and Syd’s escape may take more work
than just a new identity can handle. A
really good dystopian novel, teens who like dystopia with a lot of action will
probably like this story.
