How far would you go to protect your loved ones?
The Revolution failed. Now the children of Christown have been left to fend for themselves in their rebuilt town, with no way out and only these instructions:
The fight is now among yourselves. Make alliances. Break them. Kill. Hide. Survive. Nothing matters until one group remains.
An ultimatum has been set:
Kill or be killed.
After death in the Revolution, sixteen-year-old Gwen Cowan reawakens, faced with this new battle. But now she knows that everything and everyone in her life - including herself - doesn't really exist.
In Phase One, Gwen battles the iron-fist of the Directors ruling her country, other murderous kids, a mind that's been desensitized to violence, and the doubt of whether anything she does matters in the end, all while juggling the responsibilities of protecting her loved ones and a secret that could destroy her relationship with each one of them.
Early readers describe it as an emotional rollercoaster, difficult to put down once you get started, and a page-turner. One reader said it was as good as the Hunger Games!
