So when raiders sent by a man known as the General attack her village, Delta suspects he is searching for her.

If Delta can trust Asher, she just might decode the map and trade evidence of the Verdant to the General for her family. What Delta doesn't count on is what waits at the Verdant: a long-forgotten secret that will shake the foundation of her entire world.
