Summary:

What was once the western United States is now home to the Republic,
a nation perpetually at war with its neighbors. Born into an elite family in one of
the Republic's wealthiest districts, fifteen-year-old
June
is a prodigy being
groomed for success in the Republic's highest military circles. Born into the
slums, fifteen-year-old
Day
is the country's most wanted criminal. But his
motives may not be as malicious as they seem.
From very different worlds, June and Day have no reason to cross paths - until
the day June's brother, Metias, is murdered and Day becomes the prime suspect.
Caught in the ultimate game of cat and mouse, Day is in a race for his family's
survival, while June seeks to avenge Metias's death. But in a shocking turn of
events, the two uncover the truth of what has really brought them together, and
the sinister lengths their country will go to keep its secrets.
