Never Fade

Ruby never asked for the skills that came dangerously close to taking her life. She now has to call on them on a regular basis, conducting risky operations to overthrow an unjust regime and infiltrating her adversaries' brains. Ruby understands that she is a monster even if the other children in the Children's League refer to her as "Leader."

Ruby has to go off on her most perilous assignment to date: leaving the Children's League behind after being entrusted with an explosive secret. Crucial information about the disease that killed most of America’s children—and turned Ruby and the others who lived into feared and hated outcasts—has survived every attempt to destroy it. However, the truth is only preserved in one location: on a flashdrive held by Liam Stewart, the guy Ruby used to think would be her future but who now wouldn't know her.

Ruby is divided between her loyalty to the League and her old friends as she travels across a hopeless, lawless nation in search of Liam and answers about the tragedy that has broken apart both her life and America. Ruby will stop at nothing to keep the people she cares about safe. But what if she has to lose herself in order to win the war?
