Description:
The
path west is long, but despite Selena’s progress, New Canaan is never
far enough behind her. It was there that her parents were killed,
forcing her and her little brother Simon to flee the tyrannical state.
Now, New Canaan wants control over every
last inch of America-That-Was. Only the Republic of California can
stand against it—but not without the data stick in Selena’s pocket,
rumored to contain vital information about New Canaan’s deadly new
weapon.
As
winter closes in, Selena races south in search of an open passage to
the coast. She must pass through Nuevo Juarez, where a ruthless leader
named Thorin has seized power. Selena runs afoul of Thorin’s men and is
separated from her brother, captured, and auctioned off at the city’s
thriving slave market.
Her
only way out is through the Iron Circle, a fighting ring where the
city’s most fearsome warriors pit their skills against one another. As
the populace and Thorin watch Selena rise through the ranks, Selena
earns a reputation she doesn’t want and the attention of man with the
power to destroy her and what’s left of America-That-Was.
