Story
June, a brilliant teen from the Republic’s elite, is trained for military success and shaped by loyalty to the state. Day, a wanted criminal from the slums, survives by staying ahead of the authorities and helping his family endure the Republic’s brutal system.
After June’s brother is killed and Day becomes the prime suspect, the two are drawn into an escalating hunt across a society split by class, war, and disease. As June tracks Day and Day fights to survive, both begin uncovering contradictions in the official story they’ve been told.
Their pursuit turns into a deeper conspiracy involving the Republic’s secrets, the Trials, and hidden motives behind the country’s treatment of its people. As clues accumulate, June and Day are pushed toward trust, conflict, and the possibility that everything they believed about their world was engineered to mislead them.
