Description
One girl. Two cities. Three social classes. And a chance to rise up to the government that knocked them down. * * * 217 years after the Third World War, society is now divided into two social classes: the ARLITES, people of the Upper City, and the HUMANES, people of the Lower City. A state's military and government is depended upon its wealthier population, while the lesser privileged are stripped of their rights, forced to survive on their own. Just months before the new Californian General will be elected, its current leader, Aaron Lane, bids his last farewell to the Humanes. A notorious group, the Arlites Assassins Society, attempts to put a bullet right through his head. Their plan backfired on them, when a seventeen-year-old Humane girl, Kalista Young, puts herself between the General and the bullet. Truths and conspiracies are unraveled one by one. Kalista discovers her true identity and power, a power that was thought to have died with its instigators, the ELEGIANS. She discovers what truly happened during the Third World War. She also discovers the reason behind the creation of the two cities, and why it was so important. As each second passes by, her efforts to find the perpetrators of the assassination is slowly becoming a wild goose chase. Alongside the General's two sons, she continues to gather information about their state's history, about the Elegians, about the Assassins, and everyone involved with them. With the knowledge in hand, Kalista is starting to think that she can never truly trust anyone but herself. All Rights Reserved 2016. Ally Garcia.
