'Nothing about being back in the city is easy, but Ally knows that she must find the missing research before ONE does.

In her attempt to find somewhere to hide, Ally discovers that not everyone in the underground resistance group she encounters is welcoming – or safe.

'In a race against time, Ally is forced to risk everything. Will she be able to find the hidden research? Can she get back to the Towers to save her friends before it's too late?

'And can she really trust Josh, the handsome resistance group leader?' (Publication summary)
