Sephy is a Cross - a member of the dark-skinned ruling class. Callum is a nought - a 'colourless' member of the underclass who were once slaves to the Crosses. The two have been friends since early childhood. But that's as far as it can go. Until the first steps are taken towards more social equality and a limited number of Noughts are allowed into Cross schools...Against a background of prejudice and distrust, intensely highlighted by violent terrorist activity by Noughts, a romance builds between Sephy and Callum - a romance that is to lead both of them into terrible danger...

" An incredible novel that is as heart-rending as it is provocative." - "The Bookseller" This is an absolutely amazing book. It is powerful, and sends an important message about our society. It is wonderfully written, keeps you guessing, and has the ability to bring you to tears. - Rebecca Thorn Write a review
