They called her Water Claire.

When she washed up on their shore, no one knew that she came from a society where emotions don't exist. That she had become a Vessel. That she had carried a Product. That it had been stolen from her body.

Claire's son is out there, a young boy now. She was supposed to forget him, but that was impossible. Now Claire will stop at nothing to find her child, even if it means making an unimaginable sacrifice.

The startling and long-awaited conclusion to Lois Lowry's award-winning epic series THE GIVER QUARTET culminates in a final clash between good and evil.
