The Republic, a country that is always at conflict with its neighbours, now occupies what was once the western United States.
June, fifteen, is a prodigy being prepared for success in the highest military circles of the Republic. She was raised in an affluent region of the Republic and was born into an aristocratic family.
Day, a fifteen-year-old who was raised in the slums, is the most sought criminal in the nation. His intentions may not be as evil as they first seem to be.
Day and June are from completely different worlds, and they don't need to interact until the day when June's brother Metias is killed and Day is named as the main suspect.
Day and June are engaged in a deadly game of cat and mouse where Day is fighting to save his family and June wants to get revenge on Metias. However, in an unexpected turn of events, the two learn the actual reason for their connection and the dark measures their nation would do to maintain its secrets.
