"Set several decades into the future, this book is reminiscent of, and every bit as avant garde as was George Orwell's 1984." -R. Bruce Logan, award-winning author of Finding Lien Lareina Elliot discovered her idea for making students loyal to the government is being implemented to further the war. It has become her life's work to undermine that effort. Agent Christian Deverell promised to protect Lareina, always. But, that was before he flipped sides, before their history got dirty, before he commissioned her adopted brother to assassinate her. Cpl. Silas McKade never misses. He has a death warrant for Lareina-the woman who means everything to him-and a soul full of hatred for Christian-the man he wants to be. He's either going to break Lareina's heart or stop it altogether.
