Two countries. A waging war. Two teenagers from vastly different backgrounds. An unbreakable bond. When the country of Ajelia is thrown into war, social statuses become a way of survival. Impartiality is nonexistent. When Claire Lewis, a stuck-up daughter of 4 and heir to the Lewis Fortune meets Tash Barrere, a witty only child of a poor man, their worlds collide unexpectedly with a sprinkling of the terrors of war. A 5 acre field separating the rich Ajelie mansions and the slums of Etrutians. With their friendship having to remain a secret, they explore their horrible, horrible world together with a glimmer of hope, and the attractive pull of a chance to finally have equality, no matter how much it takes.
