The draft began on June 21, 2042. For any college-bound seventeen-year-old, the thought of throwing away a lifetime of dreams to fight a war you don't fully understand in a nightmare-turned-reality. For Delainie Trenelli, it means the end of her college plans, aspirations to attend medical school, and hopes for having a few years for peaceful self-discovery. An incredibly intelligent, athletic, and creative young woman, Delainie struggles to find a place in the army, a place where her independent thinking, innovation, and refusal to blindly defer to authority make her an undesirable subordinate. When she blatantly disobeys orders in the field to save a stranger and her squad, she is deferred to a medical unit where her talents can be put to better use. Working in the medical tents and living in the barracks, Delainie is forced to confront the horrors of war, the terrifying truths about humanity, and questions about her own identity. Maybe, somewhere between the shellings and bodies, she can discover what she wants in life, who she really wants to be, and-if she's lucky-find solace with someone who understands.

I've been waiting for this moment for over a year now. Hoping, dreaming, holding onto the picture in my mind what life could be like. I always thought this would never come. Thinking it's impossible for me to have a new start. Go to a new place, see new faces, meet new people. It always felt like walking through a desert with a map drawn in water. But even then, I never let go of my dream. I would close my eyes and imagine everything. How different I would feel waking up in the morning, how light my chest would feel, how more confident and comfortable I would feel. I was kind of writing my own little story in my head. And now, I'm just one zip of my suitcase away and my story will be coming to life. ------------------------------- Venus Jennings didn't just leave Harbor Ridge, she escaped it. Haunted by loss and chased by memories she can't outrun. Venus builds a quiet new life in a new town where no one knows her name or the pain she carries. She wants a fresh start in hopes to finding something she's never truly had: Peace, freedom, and maybe even love. Lucas Solace is the last person Venus thought she would ever cross paths with. He's kind, sincere, incredibly handsome and impossible to ignore. He's everything Venus believes she doesn't deserve. With his charm and persistence she slowly catches herself falling for him. She doesn't want to because trust and love doesn't come easy to her when the past she's running from still haunts her in ways she can't explain . But she wonders if letting him in might not be so dangerous after all. As Venus begins to open up to new possibilities, shadows of her past resurface forcing her to confront the reality she's been avoiding instead of just accepting to be free.
