Olivia has been on the run from the government of Cabal since the
marriage ceremony. Finally settling in and finding herself a place to call
home, in Shadow, Olivia and Joshua are preparing for the uprising that they and
the rebel alliance have been planning for months.
With new abilities and special talents, from Mindonsiphan, Olivia
learns that she can do more than most ordinary eighteen year olds. Learning
both to hide and perfect her skills will be one of the biggest challenges
she'll be forced to face.
A constant rollercoaster of emotion and adventure await Olivia and
Joshua, as they embark on a journey to the rebel city of Torv, and what was
once home, Genesis.
EXCERPT
“He wants her thrown in the dumpster.” I grimaced as I
approached the mattress. “Help me.” I gestured towards the body. “I can't carry
her on my own.” Even if I could, I wasn't doing this alone.
“I'm not throwing her away like garbage!” Lisa crossed
her arms. “Think of something else, Jacqueline.”
“We could grab some wood, wrap her body, and burn her.”
I glanced around the small bedroom. It was mostly empty, except for the dresser
against the wall. There were no trinkets, no signs of another life outside of
Genesis. I couldn't help but wonder if anyone missed her from back home.
“How are we going to do that without getting caught?”
Lisa asked.
“I don't know. Craynor will know we did it.” We were the
ones that were told to throw the body away.
“We could find a place in the far end of the lot and
bury her.”
Lisa frowned. “No, I like the idea of burning her body.
We'd be making a statement. Anita would have approved.”
“If we get caught, we'll be killed,” I reminded her. So
much for staying out of trouble.
“He's killing his servants. You don't think that demands
attention?” Lisa huffed. “I would have liked to know what I was getting
involved in before I worked here.”
“It wasn't like you had a choice.” I reminded her
bitterly. That was what we were fighting for: our freedom to make choices.
Whether they were right or wrong, they were our choices to make.
“Even so,” Lisa scoffed, “she deserves more than being
thrown away like a piece of trash.”
Footsteps
clomped through the hallway, just outside the door. “Well whatever we decide,
we need to do it fast.”

In the future Dystopian society of Cabal, the government instills
equality for all and offers its citizens the perfect system. There is food,
shelter and jobs for everyone. The one requirement is to follow the rules without
question, including the government's match in marriage and "The Day of the
Chosen", a lottery that randomly selects families to conceive children as
natural means hasn't existed in generations. Following her eighteenth birthday,
Olivia Parker accepts her requirement to marry her childhood best friend,
Joshua Warren, and is eager to start her work assignment and new life when it
all comes abruptly to an end as she's arrested and thrown in prison. The only
crime committed, her existence. Olivia is unlike the rest of the world born not
from "The Day of the Chosen." The truth haunts the government and
puts her life in grave danger as one simple fact would destroy the perfect
system.
With Joshua's help, Olivia breaks free of prison and is forced on the
run. Together they set out to find the promised rebel town in search of a new
home and new life together. Their situation seems less than promising as they
reach the town of Haven. New rules and customs must be adhered to in order to
stay. Leaving would mean most certain death in the large expanse of the
Gravelands. Time is running out as the government mounts an attack to destroy
Olivia and bury her secret with her. Thrown into a world unlike their own, they
must quickly adapt to survive.
