Astrid, indentured to the royal class and long-time surrogate for Princess Renya's punishments, impetuously decides to risk her life and compete in a cutthroat race in order to win her family's freedom.--, Provided by PublisherAstrid is Princess Renya's surrogate, and bears any physical punishment if Renya steps out of line. There is a way out of this life: competing in the deadly Race of Oblivion. To enter the race, an Outsider is administered the drug Oblivion, which wipes their memory clear of their past as they enter a new world with nothing to help them but a slip of paper bearing their name and the first clue. For a majority of the contestants, the race ends in death. Winning would mean freedom for Astrid and her entire family, but the race is filled with twists and turns. Darius is a fellow racer Astrid isn't sure she can trust. She starts to notice she has powers no Outsider should. And Astrid must decide whether remembering the past is worth sacrificing her family's freedom.--, adapted from jacket and Goodreads.com info
