'Compulsively readable and vividly written—it kept me awake long past my bedtime! Ariel Sullivan is a writer to watch'
– Sarah J. Maas, #1 New York Times bestselling author of A Court of Thorns and Roses One man could offer her the world. The other will help her destroy it . . .
Born to an Elite family, Emeline has been marked as different from birth and by a society that judges all its citizens on their ability to conform.
Emeline only has one role open to her: to become a mother. Offered a pro-creation contract with Collin, a member of the Illum – the governing body of the Elite – Emeline finds herself increasingly torn between her growing complicated feelings for her proposed mate, and another man who lives on the margins of their society who challenges her ideals.
When the marginalized rise up in rebellion, Emeline begins to question everything she has ever believed in.
It’s time to choose a side . . .
'A love triangle that will have you picking sides . . . then changing sides . . . then changing sides again. I read it in one sitting' - Veronica Roth, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Divergent

It was okay overall. There were unnecessary chapters that slowed the story and made me involuntarily lose focus until I had to go back. I have way too many chapters saved for this one. It reminds me a lot of *Shatter* — the dystopian theme, the heroine, and especially the love triangle. The twist at the end that other reviewers didn’t see coming—sadly, I predicted it early, no less than a quarter through the book. Call me psychic, but I think, like in *Shatter*, she’ll be all about the rebel boy in this book, only to change quickly in the next book to the supposed villain who’s just misunderstood, undercover playing a bad boy to keep everyone safe. So, she’ll be all about him in the next installment. It’s obvious from the setup and the heroine's shift from having a magnetic, undeniable connection to hating him with intense heat — for what? Plus, the heroine, if you can call her that, is seriously going to be one of those whiny girls you just can't stand. You know, the one with some anomaly that causes others to shun her, except for the high-profile studs in the story. No one understands why she's so stubborn, but somehow that makes them like her more. That’s the one—the girl who has to do everything alone and doesn't care if she dies for what she believes is right, only to mess it up by the end, making me root for her downfall so she’ll learn some sense. Come on, Ariel, give your girl a break for the second book and make it rain some brain cells up in here.
