East Laya believes in perfection, safety, and peace. ----------- This is the new world. The world after the war. Genevieve Bendele has spent all her life living on the outside, looking up at that diamond that was East Laya. A glimmering city, in the heart of what was once New York. Protected by walls and living lavishly, they have no respect for the outside. They killed her mother with no remorse. Dead set on revenge, she has devoted her life to avenge the city that murdered her. Beneath the gleaming city, mysteries are yet to be unraveled and truths threatened to be set free. Living on the outside turned her to stone and she's ready for the war.
