Roxanne lives in a tyrannical society where everyone lives in fear of the horrific punishments dolled out in the sadistic facilities known as 'circuses' to all those who defy the government. Normally, it's possible to live your life in peace: just follow the lay of the law, and you'll be fine. Roxanne is on her way to do just that as she sets off for a peaceful, non- violent summer at band camp. But when she meets a charming guy named Connor, she is torn apart by their newly forming relationship, and the mysterious circumstances surrounding it. Her nagging doubts turn into certainties, and her actions light a flame that turns the world from the peaceful utopia they had known into an inferno of painful truths and easy lies. The First of 3 books in the Enigma Trilogy.
