Set ten years after Juliette Ferrars and Aaron Warner Anderson overthrew The Reestablishment, the story introduces a dangerous new generation caught in a brutal world of surveillance, power and rebellion. James Anderson, younger brother of the legendary Aaron Warner, embarks on a risky mission to infiltrate Ark Island — the final stronghold of the authoritarian regime. Though imprisoned upon arrival, James considers gaining access to the island a victory in itself. Meanwhile, Rosabelle Wolff is the regime’s deadly assassin, trained to obey orders without hesitation in a society where even emotions are monitored and controlled. Intelligent, ruthless and constantly watched, Rosabelle has always survived through discipline and secrecy. But when her path collides with James’s, dangerous emotions and impossible choices begin to emerge.
