About the book:
In 2042 Washington, D.C., the United States has fractured into two starkly divided worlds: Uplands, where the elite, wealthy, and predominantly white hold power, and Lowlands, where the marginalized are abandoned to fend for themselves.
Aria Petros, a fearless organizer for the underground resistance collective Expectus, must lead a desperate mission to protect her people as a catastrophic hurricane barrels toward the eastern seaboard. But the fight for survival is only the beginning—Aria soon realizes that the only way to dismantle the corrupt Upland regime is to infiltrate it from within.
Her best chance? Neil Rao, a high school flame she hasn’t seen in years—now the golden boy of Upland and son of the most powerful woman in government. Trusting him could mean salvation. Falling for him again could mean ruin.
As Hurricane Eamon tears through the Atlantic coast, Aria and Neil are thrust into a battle far greater than the storm itself—one that will determine the fate of a divided nation. In the wreckage, they must navigate treachery, desire, and the weight of revolution—before it’s too late.
