| Summary |
In a dystopian future seventeen-year-old Josephine Monarch has grown up in the Ashes, the poverty stricken borderlands of New Georgia, but today is the Lineup and if she is chosen she gets a chance to leave that behind--even though it will mean leaving all her loved ones behind, and embracing an uncertain future. |
|
Today is the day Jo Monarch has been wishing on the moon about her entire life. It's the day of the Line Up, when she could be selected to leave her life in the Ashes behind. The day she could move across the mountains to a glittering, rich future. Once Jo is plucked from the Line Up, the real test begins. She still needs to impress the New Georgia Reps at tonight's Gala, and her path forward leads straight to Cove Wells. The damaged stepson of one of the Reps, Cove has been groomed as an emotional weapon, taught that love is a tool -- and he's set on breaking Jo's heart next. When a riot breaks out back in the Ashes the night of the Gala, Jo's dreams might all go up in smoke. Can she really have everything she's ever wished for... when it means leaving all her loved ones behind in the fire? |
