All Luna has ever known is the small country of Andar. 

 Surrounded by a cement gate known as the Border, anything outside of the country is left to the imagination. With its strict social latter and manipulative dictatorship, the country's government lets it's citizens live in circumstances far from fair. Luna's position in society is high above most since she's in line to be the next possible ruler, The Prime. The only issue is that the Prime is only permitted to be a man, and Luna's mother died before she could conceive another child. 

Luna has made becoming the Prime her life goal, doing everything she can to gain her abusive Father's approval. 

That is, until a hidden boy  is discovered by Andarian soldiers. 

All Silas has ever known is the pit of dirt beneath his house. Locked away simply because he exists; Silas knows nothing of the world. With close to no social skills and a mind that was left to wander without any influence, Silas is confused and enraged.

When this boy and his broken family are given a death sentence, something snaps inside of Luna. She makes up her mind to save these strangers if it's the last thing she does, even if it means caring for and teaching Silas; who is physically and mentally unstable.  Together, they set out to discover what's past the wall that has confined them for all their lives.

"I wanted to remind him of the night we cleared things out. He has all the right to fear especially that we're deviating from the norm. But what is really considered normal? Men before us were in this kind of relationship already. The Romans knew about it. What changed that made our situation different from before? Society has a way of being funny. Evolution has a play in this part. Homosapiens eliminated their previous counterparts in fear of extinction. Not knowing that they were the product of the latter. I wondered who spread this way of thinking about same sex relationships. I'm not quiet sure it was religion. Could it be the opposite sex? In fear that reproduction can be halted? Or could it be a propaganda by a corporation who feared that there would be fewer consumers of their product due to our preferences. We can only wonder." -Phawin We know Dean and Pharm had made a promise to live together after both graduates and get married in New York.

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.
