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.

new abilities and special talents, from Mindonsiphan, Olivia learns that she

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.
“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.”

Summary:
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.
