200 years after the human race was nearly wiped out by a natural disaster, a worldwide monarchy has risen to help rebuild the population and ensure survival in the midst of a new ice age... My existence is one of the most well orchestrated acts of treason to take place since the rebellion began. I am one of the most—if not the most—carefully arranged births in the history of mankind. I exist solely because the rebellion arranged it to be so. It took two hundred twenty-five years to bring me to this moment. Two hundred and twenty-five years of planning, maneuvering, and execution. A resistance that became a rebellion in the midst of the greatest natural disaster mankind has ever faced. And now I stand on the edge of everything. The only obstacle in our path is my father, and he has no idea my birth was planned or that I am a rebel lying in wait to take his crown. **Sign up for my newsletter: http://eepurl.com/btdHsT
