Synopsis:
In dystopian America, sixteen-year-old Kaleigh finds out quickly what having a big mouth and not enough brains to keep it shut can earn you. A one-way ticket to the work camps that no one even knows exists.
Nuclear war has ravished the nation, and a century later, the survivors are living in an entirely new world. In a society where everything is decided for you, from where you work to who you marry, dissidence is not taken lightly.
But, even inside the camps, Kaleigh’s fiery spirit refuses to be extinguished. In a single moment of defiance, she manages to spark a riot that ignites into a full-blown rebellion.
With growing numbers counting on her, not just for their freedom, but for their very lives, two different boys vying for her heart, and trouble brewing from within the camp itself, can Kaleigh find a way to step up and become the leader everyone is counting on her to be, or will even the most carefully laid plans come crashing down around her?

Things aren’t always as they seem. In fact, in a world of secrets and lies, almost nothing ever is. But, Kaleigh made her choices and now she has to live with the consequences.
Haunted by her guilt, Kaleigh is forced to question everything she thought she knew. From friends and foes, to loyalty and love, she’s quickly losing faith in herself and those around her.
Everyone she cares about has been launched to the front lines, but can Kaleigh find the strength within herself to keep fighting? Or, surrounded by loss, deceit, and betrayal, will her fiery spirit finally be extinguished?

Right, then left, then right again. I’m not so much running towards anything—mainly because I don’t know where anything is—as running away from everything. Voices, footsteps . . . they’re everywhere now. Coming from around every corner, behind every door. How I haven’t been spotted yet is nothing short of a mira—
“There!” Spoke too soon. “Grab her!”
A heavy hand falls over my shoulder, but I jerk my neck and manage to slip free. Another brushes my shirt sleeve as I fly around a corner taking a guard completely by surprise and manage to speed right past him.
“Get her, you idiots!”
Footsteps thunder down the hall behind me and I’m starting to feel like the Ginger Bread Man. Run, run, run as fast as you can . . . Except, I’m not nearly as confident as that little cookie man.
I whip blindly around another corner and slam straight into a wall. A wall with arms. Arms that wrap securely around my body pinning me firmly to the wall. A wall with a really sinister laugh. Not good.
