Seventeen-year-old April Parker's plan is simple: survive ten more months under her overbearing stepfather's roof, graduate, and get as far away from him as possible. It's the only thing that keeps her going and the reason his cruel expectations haven't broken her. The last thing she expects is to wake up inside an underground facility with dozens of other teenagers for company. Making allies doesn't come easily to her, thanks to her stepfather, and she's forced to hide the stigma of her upbringing to keep herself safe in this new world. But when the stronger teenagers fight for control over the facility, April is left with two choices: to remain the insecure person she's always been or to break free of Sam's chains and step forward as a leader-even if it means going up against the temperamental and compelling Marcus. As conditions within the facility become more stressful and the teenagers' resilience is put to the test, strange powers start to manifest. So do dangerous changes. And if their kidnappers' silence is anything to go by, no one is coming to save them.

More importantly, they are Blackthorns, and Cristina, Diego, and Emma have love, loyalty, and life spent with them. And they have none to spare on the Clave, the Conclave, the Council, but just perhaps a shard, for the Consul, mother of Helen Blackthorn's wife, and so Blackthorn loyalty extends to both Aline and Jia Penhallow. Sed lex, dura lex, but now, Helen, Aline, Mark, Julian, Drusilla, Tiberius, and Octavian will follow their words, and Livia will not forget Malla Lex, Nulla Lex as their fight to stay together passes their own mortality, and surpasses any effort to lay them claim of the Clave.
