snippet!!: (from the first chapter)
There is a mysterious guiding thread that carries people through life. This is the superstition of the people of Eight, anyways. Every event, for the better or the worse, is predestined. In this way, control is granted to those who allow themselves to be led along. They flow with the changes in their life, as carefree as the canals which crisscross their District. There is an easy acceptance in their bones—certain that they couldn’t have done anything to prevent the bad, and the good was always meant to come.
The Xiomaras do not subscribe to this concept. Or at least, the ones who remain don’t. Then again, there isn’t much time for them to contemplate on such things. Especially when they’re rummaging through the trash.
Or at least, Vachel is. As with most things in their life, he has forbidden his younger siblings from participating in this nightly ritual. Instead, Vega and Vaughn are forced to stand right next to the dumpster as he carefully picks his way through.
