The return of the banished daughter.

Eighteen months ago, Nessa was cast out of her home, torn from her family, and stripped of the only life she'd ever known. Now, the Elder Council summons her back to stop a deadly outbreak. To save those she left behind, Nessa must walk a blade's edge between the fragile freedom she's discovered and the ghosts of her past.

But the division has changed. Secrets fester in the shadows, and even those she once trusted hide their own agendas. Nessa swore she'd never lose her freedom again, but is she willing to incite a war to protect her family?

Find out in Purpose, the dark sequel to The Beyond.
