Hurting for her nation and betrayed by the ones she loved most. Cassie seeks help, and when she meets the confident and diehard Rebel, Tilly, she can't help but be drawn in. With no one else brave enough to take a stand, Cassie is forced to team up with a group of unlikely allies and put her trust in a forgotten society and a legend. There's only one problem. The Rebels would kill her if they knew who she was, and the Order would kill her if they knew where she was.

With nothing left to lose but life itself, she must hide her true identity. But can the pull of a lost love send her down the wrong path?
