'After the death of Blossom, the girl she called her sister, Skye’s heart has been shattered and she’s out for revenge.

'But not if Lukas has anything to do about it.

'She thought she found utopia. She was wrong.

Four years after Skye became the youngest president in history, and returned precious resources to her people, she had hoped this would mean the end of the war.

'But there is still a threat.

'An enemy once thought dead has returned from the grave to exact revenge, and he won’t rest until he gets what he wants.

'But, when their plan goes south, Lukas and Skye must do whatever it takes to save their people and the world from ruin.

'Even if it means betraying those they love the most.'
