Senior year. New school. First day. Eden Pruitt expected nerves and new beginnings. She didn’t expect to come home to a ransacked house and two missing parents. When she returns with the police, an older man answers the door—one who claims the house is his. He’s lived there for years. According to every record, he’s telling the truth, and when they try to clear up the confusion, it only spirals into chaos. Her name. Her parents. Her past. None of it exists.

Eden Pruitt’s parents are alive. They are safe. But not Eden. She won’t be until they hunt down the high-stakes gambler known as Mordecai. Eager for redemption, Cassian Gray won’t rest until they succeed. Together, they follow a trail of clues that thrusts them into a dark, dangerous twisted reality. At its center stands an enemy far more powerful than they ever imagined.

In a world of haves and have nots, where petty crime is punishable by death and magic is forbidden, a deadly contest unfolds in secret. Twelve competitors are mysteriously invited. The winner gets one wish. For 17-year-old Briar Bishop, this means saving her brother from execution by guillotine, and she’s not going to let anything or anyone get in her way. Especially not Leo Davenbrook, the handsome high prince, who has grown up with everything she never had and whose very presence threatens her chance at survival.

Eden Pruitt didn’t find the enemy. She stumbled upon the Resistance and unwittingly led the military to their doorstep. Because of her, they have been all but demolished. Most are dead. Several more have been imprisoned, along with Cassian Gray, the dangerous, tantalizing boy Eden loves.

America is in peril. The public is being deceived. The enemy grows more powerful by the day. And Eden’s plans horrendously backfired. Now she’s locked up with a hostile soldier whose upbringing couldn’t be more different from her own. And whose loyalty could change everything. She sets out to win his trust, prove herself to the Resistance, and somehow, make amends with Cassian. If there’s any hope of vanquishing the adversary, they must set aside their grievances and come together as one.
