Synopsis

A rich postapocalyptic YA fantasy perfect for fans of Graceling and Tamora Pierce, this sequel to C. J. Redwine's Defiance continues the story of warrior Rachel Adams and her love, Logan McEntire. With their city-state ravaged, their lives threatened by rival armies, and a band of survivors looking to them for leadership—Rachel and Logan must work to forge a new future for them all.

Abandoning the ruins of their home to take their chances in the Wasteland, the group soon realizes their problems have only begun: an unknown killer —possibly inside their ranks—has begun picking off the survivors one by one. And Rachel and Logan must question whether the price of freedom may be too great—and whether they can make it out of the Wasteland alive.

From the Back Cover

Baalboden has been ravaged. The Commander's whereabouts are unknown. And with a ragged group of survivors struggling to stay alive, it's up to Logan to become the leader they need—with Rachel by his side. Under constant threat from rival city-state Carrington's army, which is after the device that controls the Cursed One, the group leaves the ruins of their home and takes their chances in the Wasteland.

But soon their problems intensify tenfold: someone—possibly inside their ranks—is sabotaging the survivors, picking them off one by one. With the chaos putting unbearable strain on Rachel and Logan, it isn't long before they feel their love splintering. And the group begins to question whether the price of freedom may be too great—and whether they can make it out of the Wasteland alive.

In this daring sequel to Defiance, with the world they once loved forever destroyed, Rachel and Logan must decide between a life on the run and standing their ground to fight.
