Synopsis

When a very few have everything worth living for, those beneath the shine will stop at nothing to burn it all down.In a future United States where those who control technology control the wealth, seventeen-year-old Marguerite’s viral video propels a populist candidate to presidential victory on a platform of “tech for all.” But as the mouthpiece of the new leader determined to break the elite stronghold, Marguerite finds herself on the opposite side of the divide in a new high school full of technocrat teens.When the enigmatic Percy, with his flamboyant fashion sense, sharp wit, and tragic past, takes an interest in her, she is suspicious. But with everyone against her, she needs an ally. Percy is drawn to Marguerite’s passion for the cause, but the legacy of his murdered scientist parents prevents him from letting her get too close.Soon terrorists strike the capital and technocrat leaders begin turning up dead, and the two must work together to protect both their families and the country. With everyone literally plugged into technology, total domination will take only a flip of the switch. In order to preserve their freedom and the future Marguerite envisions, she and Percy may be forced to pay the ultimate price.

About Sarah Fine

Sarah Fine is the author of several popular series, including The Impostor Queen and the Guards of the Shadowlands. And while she promises she is not psychoanalyzing those around her, she manages to use both her talent as a writer and her experience as a psychologist to great effect. Sarah's stories blur lines, challenge convention, and press boundaries. Her mash-up of seemingly disparate genres yields stories that not only are engaging but will keep readers guessing.Sarah has lived on the West Coast and in the Midwest, but she currently calls the East Coast home. She confesses to having the music tastes of an adolescent boy and an adventurous spirit when it comes to food (especially if it's fried). But if her many books are any indication, writing clearly trumps both her musical and culinary loves.

Ok well just WOW. At first I wasn't even sure I was going to stick with this book. I found the protagonist a little tiresome and completely uptight I wanted to shake her a little to loosen her up. That being said I'm so glad I suck with it because it was well worth it and after chapter 13 I could no......more

YA The Scarlet Pimpernel set in the future I've enjoyed Sarah's others books so when I read the original decreption I signed up for this one. About half way through, I realized that it's a The Scarlet Pimpernel re-telling. It took me so long because the setting is quite complex and the first chunk......more

Goodreads review by B.A. on August 27, 2018

That was not what I expected, in the best sort of way. The characters are truly different in this, and they let their experiences and emotions cloud their judgment at times, which leaves you wondering who is really right and who is wrong. The story also has a lot to say about crooked politics, but a......more

Goodreads review by Jessica on January 13, 2019

I struggled with this book, but I think it may be a wonderful read for YA. Problems I had right off the bat: -Why is a teenager so integrated into a presidential campaign when she is not the daughter of the president? Yes we've seen single voices emerge during campaigns and help spread a presidentia......more
