In a climate-ravaged future, humanity is allowed only one child per couple—and at eighteen, each firstborn must choose who in their family will die as payment for their carbon footprint: their mother or their father. Miri is an idealist and fierce believer in the system. She knows her duty. But when the day of her Offset comes, she is faced with a decision far more complicated than she ever imagined. Her parents are scientists who once helped save the planet, but at what hidden cost? As Miri uncovers the secrets of their past, she must question everything she thought she knew about justice, love, and responsibility. Reviews "A harrowing vision of the future that feels all too close. Bold, brilliant, and beautifully devastating." — The Guardian "An intelligent, heart-pounding dystopia that doesn’t flinch from asking impossible questions." — SciFiNow
