Reseña del editor

After Remy Alexander's older sister is murdered in a cold-blooded massacre, her family discovers the Okarian Sector is hiding the truth behind the attack. Remy and her parents flee the Sector to join the clandestine Resistance movement. Now, three years later, Remy and her friends are convinced they've found a clue that can help them unravel the mystery behind the murders and expose the secrets behind the Sector's use of genetically modified food. But back home in the Sector, Valerian Orlean, the boy Remy once thought she loved, is put in charge of hunting and destroying the Resistance. Even as Vale strives to live up to his parent's expectations, he is haunted by the memory of his friendship with Remy and is determined to find out why she disappeared. As Remy seeks justice for her sister and Vale seeks to protect the Sector and everything he believes in, the two are set on a collision course that could bring everyone together-or tear everything apart. Writing as K. Makansi, the mother-daughter writing team of Kristina, Amira, and Elena Makansi immerses readers in the post-apocalyptic world of the Okarian Sector where romance, enduring friendships, edge-of-your-seat action, and heart-wrenching betrayal will decide the fate of a nation.
