The year is 2201. Alina Pritchett is the daughter of a chef who works at the Crest--a palace formerly known as the White House. But her father is not who he seems; he does not just cook, but is also avidly involved with a rebellious group trying to topple the American Empire. Ever since Alina was young, she has known the horrors that They commit, and has been yearning for the time when she can truly fix her world. Braen Chancel is the son of the President of the American Empire. He has been trained for years in political machinations and etiquette, waiting for the moment when he can take over from his father and follow in his footsteps. Follow Alina from the moment that she meets Braen at twelve years old, and watch as she grows up beside her enemy. Alina will learn how to keep secrets, and how to have friends on both sides of a war. She will learn how to let go of attachments, and she will learn the true meaning of sacrifice and loyalty.
