Do you hear it calling you?
Do you see the black inside?
Can you get it out in time?
Or will it take over your mind? 
The darkness has chosen you. 
It cannot be denied. 
It took up roots inside your heart. 
Now wonder you're afraid of the dark. 
The mark of the beast is on your skin. 
It cannot be erased. 
You feel the anger and the strength with every step you take. 
Take a deep breath, it may be your last. 
For the Dragonfly awakes.
. 
Harrison West never existed. As far as the Union knew. His records were erased, and anyone who had known him, was dead. He was on the run from the council, and from a secret underground circle of dark, powerful people claimed by the mark of the dragonfly. If he disobeyed the mark, he would die, but if he did what it said, he would kill innocent people. Torn between light and dark, Harrison learns of a way he can save his people: By finding the chosen one, Charlotte Griffin. 

Charlotte Griffin was just another member of the Union, or so everyone thought. Strange things started happening in her society, one of the boys in her academy, Isaac, went missing. And the members of the council were covering it up. Charlie wanted to know why. Digging into this mystery could land her dead, but Charlie was to curious for her own good. She had to know where Isaac had gone, and who this new mysterious boy that had shown up after he went missing was. Little did she know she was about to get caught in between a more dangerous war than the one that destroyed half the earth. And it was all up to her to save everything.

The whole camp was filling with smoke. I coughed, praying that my lungs would keep working for just a few more minutes. "Eli, which way is west?" Adam's breathing was just as labored from physical exertion, smoke, and panic as mine was. I didn't even process the question. I didn't know. We couldn't see anything through the smoke because the fire was spreading so quickly, and I just realized I'd forgotten my walkie-talkie. "Don't know!" I answered. Adrenaline was the only thing that kept my feet going. I knew we'd come in the East Gate, and if the cells were in the center, then if we kept going straight, we were going to find the gate any second. "Keep straight!" I instructed. I saw his head bob slightly, acknowledging my delayed direction. Then Adam cried out beside me, and I stopped short. I reached for his body involuntarily as he pitched forward, nearly causing him to take me down with him. My left hand was soaking wet from where it had landed on his shoulder. I winced as I tried to steady him, not daring to look at what I knew would be a pool of blood in my hand. ☁ Now that they have a new ally on their side, they're looking to change the United States for good. At some point, they want every camp freed and every teenager home safe. But each new camp brings an endless supply of new challenges. Things are beginning to spin out of control. Follow each of them as they discover who they are, who they love, and more of their country's secrets than they could ever dream of in a thrilling trilogy told from all five points of view.
