Thanks to modern science , every newborn has become a ticking genetic time bomb-males only live until age twenty-five,and females only live until twenty. In this bleak landscape, young girls are kidnapped and forced into polygamous marriages to keep the population from dying out. When sixteen-year-old Rhine Ellery is taken by the gatherers to become a bride,she enters a world of wealth and privilege.Despite her husband Lindens genuine love for her, and a tenuous trust among her sister wives, Rhine has one purpose: to escape-to find her twin brother and go home. But Rhine has more to contend with than losing her freedom. Lindens eccentric father is bent on finding an antidote to the genetic virus that is getting closer to taking his son, even if it means collecting corpses in order to test his experiments. With the help of Gabriel, a servant she is growing dangerously attracted to, Rhine attempts to break free, in the limited time she has left.

The Oberllyn's in the year 2018 are a shadow family. Noel , Violet and their children are close knit in more ways than one; traditionally native, brilliant, with military and scientific backgrounds, they all work together in the family firm. The firm, a fourth generation independent underground spy network, works directly for the President and other U.S. allies to stop the spread of terrorism. In theory, Kai, Gabriel and Jasmine are supposed to take over the firm; Noel and Violet are supposed to retire as soon as the boys finish their present military service. Kai and Gabriel had gone into the military undercover as recruits, only to have the government they all thought they were working for put them in situations to deliberately attempt to kill them . While her brothers are under fire, Jasmine is in university finishing her degree in forensic psychiatry, and while studying, finds a husband as well. Lilianna has gone off on her own; Micah, an eight year old autistic savant, is learning to cope with his social anxiety while Serena just wants to find a horse to ride. In the meantime, a hidden figure sets loose a savage virus that has a 100% kill rate, it has gone global, and the Oberllyn's need to kill it before it kills them and everyone else. And you thought retirement planning was just a matter of money...
