Madeline Kane never asked for her privileged life on the Ark or to be the daughter of Marcus Kane, a high-ranking official who upholds every law she despises. Once loving, her father turned cold and distant after her mother's tragic execution, leaving Madeline alone with her rebellious streak and resentment toward the Ark's twisted morals. Now, after an act of defiance that lands her in lock-up, Madeline is ready to face the ultimate punishment. Instead, just 2 weeks before her 18th birthday, she's ripped from her cell alongside a hundred other delinquents, not to be floated-but to be sent to the ground.
On Earth, survival is no longer theoretical. The dangers are real, the stakes are deadly, and enemies become allies in a battle to adapt to their unforgiving new home. Forced to co-lead alongside Bellamy Blake-a headstrong rebel who sees her as nothing more than her father's daughter-Madeline must prove she's more than the Ark's privileged elite. But as they navigate life on Earth, secrets surface, loyalties are tested, and sparks ignite.
Madeline and Bellamy are about to find out that sometimes the hardest person to trust is the one who knows you best.
In which, a 15 year old signs up to play the games, unknowing of the friendships she'd make and the people she'd lose.
