Imagine only being eight when you are taken from your family by the government. No not taken. Sold. in the year 3000 River Jacques or RJ was sold to the government by her parents for money issues. The government has changed in many ways. Taking kids or having kids be sold to them was one way. But when River was sold she was trained to become a soldier. Not knowing that Government's greatest weapon will become their greatest threat..... 'Mama sat there brushing my hair to the side as she hummed a song. "Five little ducks went out to play. Over the hills and far away. Mother duck went 'Quack quack quack' one little duck came running back." She finishes looking down at me. "Why is there only one duck and not four?" I ask my arms snaking around the medium sized bear. "The one duck made his own choices and fought back. That one duck is you River. Remember that." Mama whispered kissing my forehead. The last kiss I would ever get from her.

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.
