There is nothing more dangerous than those with colored eyes. The city feared what it didn’t know, and Nat, being a golden green-eyed girl, was one of the biggest fears the government felt they needed to control. But it no longer bothers Nat: she has done and seen it all. Loss still has a government that controls everything and everyone in the city, therefore an escape is really a fantasy that many get killed trying to attempt. The only city to survive the chaotic rift is Las Vegas, better known as Loss. The world as we know it has been corrupted, invaded, flooded, and frozen into demise. ![]() She has the map, she has the power (however uncontrollable), and she has Wes’s crew to help with her ultimate escape into the Blue. For Nat, the paradise that takes her beyond the Frozen city of Loss and her dream is no longer a unimaginable escape but a necessity for her survival. We all dream of a paradise, an escape from the chaos of our reality, and sometimes those dreams are too good to be true. ![]()
