Description

The Zone. A barren, desolate place as empty as Chiara's heart and soul. Toxic in every sense of the word, and a death sentence to the unwary.

Chiara never meant to flee there alone. Deran, her anchor and co-conspirator, the man she loves, was supposed to accompany her, help her get everyone and everything back. Then Cygnus took him too and consigned him to a fate worse than death. As for her family? Chiara has no proof the resistance rescued them as promised.

To survive this purgatory alone, Chiara must call on every ounce of her intelligence and grit. Build a haven where her loved ones can survive, far beyond the reach of the conglomerate and its nefarious director.

Just when she thinks she's succeeded, a careless mistake puts her in the resistance's grasp—and returns Deran to her. But the resistance isn't what she expected. Deran isn't happy to see her. Can Chiara find her way to the truth before it's too late?
