Publisher's Summary

A New York Times best seller!

What was once the Western United States is now home to the Republic, a nation perpetually at war with its neighbors. Born into an elite family in one of the Republic's wealthiest districts, 15-year-old June is a prodigy being groomed for success in the Republic's highest military circles. Born into the slums, 15-year-old Day is the country's most wanted criminal. But his motives may not be as malicious as they seem.

From very different worlds, June and Day have no reason to cross paths - until the day June's brother, Metias, is murdered and Day becomes the prime suspect. Caught in the ultimate game of cat and mouse, Day is in a race for his family's survival, while June seeks to avenge Metias's death. But in a shocking turn of events, the two uncover the truth of what has really brought them together, and the sinister lengths their country will go to keep its secrets.

Full of nonstop action, suspense, and romance, this novel is sure to move readers as much as it thrills.

The story makes sense and is consistent trough out like a crossant covered in chocolate but just enough to sweeten the flaky dough, no mater how much you eat you still want more!

Frighteningly Accurate

I bought this book from the Scholastic Book Fair at my school around a decade ago. It is very surprisingly (and at time scary) accurate to present day. If you are a fan of government coverups and conspiracy theories, it's a mist-read
