***You do not need to have read the Shatter Me series to read this***
This book focuses on the life of the children of the main characters from Tahereh Mafi's Shatter Me series (Warner + Juliette, Kenji + Nazeera, Adam + Alia, James + Rosabelle, and Winston + Brendan). There are also many cameos from the OG characters as well! (+ New characters)
Timeline wise, this book is set 19-20 years after the Shatter Me: New Republic Series
Emmaline Warner Anderson, daughter of Aaron Warner Anderson and Juliette Ferrars, is certainly not a killing machine like her parents. Emma is sweet and gentle, loves to read and opposes all violence. She never wanted to be soldier (but it's not like her Dad would have let her become one anyways).
Emma is totally happy living the quiet, peaceful life her parents worked hard for her to have. With family dinners every Friday, movie nights, and gardening with her mom, Emma has not been exposed to any sort of war or violence. So whenever she does encounter it, she gets severe panic attacks. Sometimes it gets so bad that she passes out.
Everett Devereaux is a big asset to the New Republic's military. His powers are lethal and intense, which is why Warner (the Supreme General Commander) is always using him for interrogations and other dirty work. Warner has seen the horrible things Everett is capable of.
Which is why a relationship between Everett and his daughter, Emma, would cause absolute turmoil.
***This book is from the perspective of Emmaline but it does switch to Everett's POV on occasion ***
