Three rebels are thrust into the deadly Outlands after igniting a revolution they may not survive—forced to choose between the families and lives they've left behind and the dangerous mission that could change everything. Bea, Alina, and Quinn have lost nearly everything, and now they're hunted by the very system they defied, including a Special Forces operative determined to bring them down. With oxygen scarce, trust fragile, and impossible choices mounting, these four teens must grapple with where their true loyalties lie as the fate of all humanity hangs in the balance. Crossan delivers a heart-pounding, thought-provoking conclusion that'll leave you breathless (pun intended!) as it questions what we're willing to sacrifice for freedom and justice.
