Almost seventy years after World War III, the world is divided and America is known as the New United States. In this future, transatlantic travel is limited to certain areas, technology thrives, and the human military is replaced by mutants, called aviants - beings who possess abilities, called Houses, under influence of atmospheric pressure. Eighteen year old, Orian Phillips is one of those mutants with the ability to control the weather. After graduating high school, Orian is expected to attend the Government's school to train as a super soldier. As he undergoes different, almost deadly, challenges he also discovers a decades old secret against the Government, which is considered dangerous. Mysteriously it all becomes unlocked for him to learn and even about an existing Rebellion, The Breakout. Once the truth unfolds, Orian must decide whether to stay loyal to his Government, or join a rebellion. With little to rely on, It will become the ultimate challenge of his life.
(If you haven't read the first book, stop here! Don't spoil yourself, the first book is also on my profile)
The death of a friend can break a person, or reshape them. It could be the straw that broke the camel's back, or a motivator, a push in the right direction.
Aiden isn't sure where he falls.
All he knows is the guilt and the desire for vengeance. Maybe things could've been different if he hadn't made such a disastrous mistake.
But then an opportunity arises for Aiden to learn more about his fallen comrade, to get to know him even beyond the grave.
And like death, everything that follows could make or break the rebellion.
Note: This story contains a subplot featuring a romance between two boys. It's presented as normal. If you have a problem with the lgbt+ community, then this isn't the book - or authour - for you. I'm a member of the community myself.
Happy pride month! Spread love, not hate. <3
