--------------------------------------------------
Liam barely recalls his life before Sunset City fell to ruin, but he's always felt a sense of responsibility to save it and its survivors. The rebels he coexist with are a group of people he'd never imagine befriending in normal circumstances, but they've come this far by relying on each other, and reckoning is close upon them.
They're so on the verge of confronting the source of their suffering, he can almost taste it. But victory won't be as sweet as he's expecting when it's finally brought to light what he's up against, and the REAL reason so many lives were lost the day his world descended to Hell.
Adele knows she witnessed a murder - what she doesn't know is just how personal it is.
