Manhattan, 2119. Fifteen-year-old Mina Clark hides her heresy to protect her family's honor. And in a world where women are second-class citizens and young brides are sold to the highest bidder, only Mina's beloved grandmother secretly fuels her forbidden love of reading. But when Nana is rushed to the hospital, Mina races to grab hold of the illegal materials before authorities come knocking.
Confronted by her horrid, spoiled brat betrothed, Mina commits an act of disobedience that could threaten everything she holds dear. Fearing for her life, she teams up with her fiancé's handsome bodyguard to follow the clues hidden in Nana's Primer to the heart of the Manhattan underground.
Can Mina unravel the mystery and fight for her freedom?
