Survival is all the infamous Listener knows in The United Empire. She gets by, works for the corrupt government, and the once orphaned girl has a place to go home at night. But when The Empire turns on her, the Renegades are there to come to her rescue. The enemies of The Empire suddenly become her allies, displacing the Listener from all she's ever known, including the unbearably lonely existence she's led. On the run from The Empire, she finds out she is capable of far more than she ever thought she was. Can the Listener truly gain the trust of the Renegades? Can she find justice from The United Empire? Can she discover a life that is about more than just survival, but actually living? **I am just terrible at descriptions, but I swear the actual story is much better! You'll like it if you enjoy dystopian stories like The Hunger Games, Shatter Me, Legend, or Divergent.**

If saving your life caused you more suffering than dying ever could, would you thank the man who did it, or would you kill him? Samantha is brilliant, driven, and running on empty. A visit to her old best friend was supposed to be a reset. Instead, one night tears her life apart and leaves her one breath from death. The man who saves her has his own methods, a cure much worse than the disease. Cleansed with light, stripped of everything, Sam loses herself layer by agonizing layer, and wakes up in the Bright Room as a mystery: to her captor, and to herself. The only thing she's sure she's not is a victim. But reclaiming her life means dealing with a captor whose ruthlessness is matched only by how broken he is; a debt to him she can't balance against the trauma he caused; and a thing waking inside her that may be more dangerous than the infection itself. What develops between them is Beauty and the Beast, followed to its natural conclusion: two beasts, containing each other.
