With the help of old friends and new
allies they set out to make history, but it might just take a miracle for
everyone to make it out alive.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
When not visiting the
imaginary worlds inside my head, I live in San Diego, California, with one
husband, three children, two cats, and one dog. In addition to my day job as a
technical writer and editor, I write young adult fiction. I love the intensity
of teen emotions and the way they're still figuring out life.
When I'm not writing, you can find me with my nose in a book, hanging out with family and friends, hiking, or knitting. I'm obsessed with Facebook, young adult novels, bad lip reading videos, pumpkin spice lattes, micro brewed beers, and the San Diego Chargers.

EXCERPT
Hot
showers, beds that conform to my body, soft clothes, public transportation — there’s a shitload of stuff to love about the Union,
but by far my favorite is the beach. I never tire of watching the ocean,
struggling to understand it, the way it seems to go on forever. Standing here,
feeling the coarse sand beneath my feet and the cool mist on exposed skin,
helps me think.
Like an idiot, I figured nothing else mattered
as long as Evan and I were together, but every damn thing matters. It’s not safe to stay here, and it’s not safe to
return to the Ruins. Not that she’d even agree to that. Hell, I don’t know what
she wants. We barely talk and I know that’s mostly on me. I can’t pretend her
sleeping with that douche doesn’t piss me off. I want to punch something every
time I see him, which is pretty much every fucking day.
“Figured
I’d find you here,” Rainey’s raspy voice comes from behind me.
I grit my teeth and turn to face her. “Hey.”
“It’s
beautiful, isn’t it?”
“Yeah.
Never thought I’d see the ocean, now I can’t seem to leave.”
She’s quiet for a few moments, staring out at the crashing waves. I’ve
stared at them for plenty of hours myself, now I stare at her. She’s pretty, in
a rough sort of way. The scar running from her ear to her jaw only enhances her
looks. But she’s not someone you’d ever want to mess with.
“Quit
staring at me.”
I turn back to the water. “Sorry.”
“Colin
went with her. You know, in case you were wondering.”
“Not
really.” I wasn’t, only because I chose not to think about it. But if it’d been
Bryce, I’d have needed to pound something.
“Are you
going to punish her forever?”
Dragging my gaze away from the surf, I glare at
her. “You don’t know what you’re
talking about.”
Her eyebrows go up. “Really? You two were this sappy sweet, gag-inducing
couple until her ex showed up. Now you’re always in a foul mood, and you barely
talk to the girl you supposedly gave up everything to follow.”
“Fine, I
don’t like the guy, never have. Why the hell is he here again?”
“We need
everyone if we have any hope of doing what you’re planning. We can’t send him
packing because he got naked and horizontal with your girl.”
If Rainey wasn’t a girl, I’d have no problem decking her, but
she is, so I walk down to the water to get away from her.
Whatever went on between Evan and the douchebag
was before she joined the Uprising, but it’s more than that. It’s everything. She had no idea what she was
getting herself into and no plan to get out. She nearly got herself killed.
She’s impulsive and reckless, and I don’t know if I can deal with
that.

After global warming and a second civil war devastated the former United States, two different societies rose from the ashes – the Union, a towering high-tech utopia, hugging the perimeter of the continent, and the devastated, untamed midsection known as the Ruins.
Seventeen-year-old Evan Taylor has an easy, privileged life in the Union. What she doesn’t have is any idea what to do with the rest of her life. She only knows she wants to do something meaningful, to make a difference in the lives of others.
When she’s kidnapped and taken into the Ruins as a pawn in a dispute involving her boyfriend, Bryce, her ideal world is turned upside down. What she learns while in the Ruins shakes her faith in everything she’s ever known, from Bryce, to her family, and even the Union itself.
Now Evan must choose whether to stay with Cyrus, the sexy, resourceful survivor who believes she’s in the Ruins for a reason, or return to the only life she’s ever known. But when she stumbles upon a dangerous plot that threatens both worlds, her decision could tear her apart.
