However, unknown to them, they find themselves at the mercy of the Cleanse Act, a violent gladiator tournament that removes citizens at random, pitting them against each other in a fight to the death.
When the Act calls upon Lucy to shed blood inside the dome, she struggles with hiding a rare genetic gift and capturing the hearts of a broken nation – which may be her only hope at salvation.
Elliot Jensen and Elliot Fintry have a lot in common. They share the same name, the same house, the same school, oh and they hate each other but, as they will quickly learn, there is a fine line between love and hate.
