Alis flees after being chosen for a marriage she does not want, challenging her parents' decision and the community's expectations.
Alis is raised within a strict religious community described as increasingly extremist, and the proposed marriage is to the town's Minister.
The premise includes an arranged marriage to a much older man, strict religious confines, running away and the possibility of fatal consequences.
This is a grounded book brief while Suitabook strengthens the analysis: the current material supports only a cautious reading; another book-specific source is still needed.
Anything not established here remains open; it is not being treated as absent or safe.
