In 2042 Washington, D.C., the United States has fractured into two starkly divided worlds: Uplands, where the elite, wealthy, and predominantly white hold power, and Lowlands, where the marginalized are abandoned to fend for themselves. n Aria Petros, a fearless organizer for the underground resistance collective Expectus, must lead a desperate mission to protect her people as a catastrophic hurricane barrels toward the eastern seaboard. But the fight for survival is only the beginning--Aria soon realizes that the only way to dismantle the corrupt Upland regime is to infiltrate it from within. n n Her best chance? Neil Rao, a high school flame she hasn't seen in years--now the golden boy of Upland and son of the most powerful woman in government.

Trusting him could mean salvation. Falling for him again could mean ruin. n n As Hurricane Eamon tears through the Atlantic coast, Aria and Neil are thrust into a battle far greater than the storm itself--one that will determine the fate of a divided nation. In the wreckage, they must navigate treachery, desire, and the weight of revolution--before it's too late.n
