"We're getting to the end, and win or lose, it's time to pick a side, for good.
Conflict has subsided. Rebuilding is underway.
But for those at the heart of the upheaval, moving forward won't be easy. Mistakes must be rectified. Hearts must heal.
Limits are tested when unlikely alliances form. Taking the fight to Montica pushes the shaken Kaycians to their breaking points, but even back home, dangers loom."
"The uprising is going to plan. But whose plan is it?
Serenity Ward must come to terms with her role in Kaycie's flawed society. The Establishment is corrupt, but there are those pushing for change from within. Division isn't exclusive to the elite group, though. The islands splinter in the wake of the uprising as webs of lies are untangled.
Bram's homecoming isn't what he expected, and discovering truths hidden by his own family rattles even his faith in the side he's chosen. The lines between right and wrong blur, but one thing holds fast—the scattered team needs to reunite to free everyone from bigger powers pulling the strings."
"My star is rising, and I shine. Always.
Serenity Ward is the golden girl of Kaycie. She never questioned her city's status as the last dry land on earth. The Establishment takes care of its citizens . . . or so she thought. But now she's seen the map!
Why would they lie about other islands just beyond the horizon? In a city built on falsehood, figuring out who to trust is its own challenge, but Serenity pulls together a feisty group who all want the same thing—an end to the government which has hidden a world from them.
Bram's anger drives his own desire for revolution. Being from another island, he was selected to be a brainwashed marshal in service to Kaycie, but he knows what's going on all too well. Hidden in plain sight, he is ready to draw blood to free the islands. Only dealing with Serenity is the one thing he wasn't prepared for.
Can two people who were never supposed to meet stop fighting each other long enough to remember who the enemy is?"
