Corrupted Lies

Sage had good life with a bit of a bumpy childhood, but everything seemed to be looking up. The city she grew up in was rebuilt and beautiful, but other parts of the Union still lay in waste from the bombings years before she or even her parents were a thought. (Those were the the first bombs, the bombs that destroyed the Union, both its peace and its physical appearance.) During that time, the two sides fought viscously in a civil war, but eventually the government won. There was then peace for 84 years between the two sides of the Union, and the Other Side ceased to exist. But when the government seems to have everything in control, the Other Side arouses old feelings with new weapons. Sage is forced to deal with the her new surroundings and the loses caused by the second bombs the Other Side dropped without warning or reason. Meeting new people wavers the choice of allowing her to trust, but that's almost impossible for her in a nuclear apocalypse. Things have changed since the bombs were dropped. She finds out unwanted truths and devastating lies.
