On the brink of execution, 16 year old Ebba den Eeden is unexpectedly elevated from the bunker deep in South Africa's Table Mountain where she has lived all her life, believing - as do all the other teenagers who toil daily to make their food and power the bunker - that the world Above" is uninhabitable due to a nuclear holocaust. Instead, she is heiress to a massive fortune - one that everyone wants to control. While dealing with the machinations of the High Priest, his handsome son Hal, and the rules and regulations of a society and religion she doesn't understand, she must also try to save her three friends, still stuck in the bunker and facing execution any day." | The Thousand Steps by Helen Brain, Hardcover | Indigo Chapters
