A country descending into civil war…
A young artist forced to cross a nation in chaos to retrieve her stolen masterpiece…
Her guide and guardian—whose past remains strangely obscure …
Georgie O’Halloran created an artistic and literary wonder—only to have it stolen from her and published under the thief’s name. Worse, it’s the inspiration for a wildly popular video game that’s become a favorite among the militants seeking to transform America through bloodshed.
To confront the plagiarist and reclaim her work, Georgie must cross an entire continent erupting in violence. Her only companion: Shane Riordan, a whip-smart and fiercely loyal friend with a beautiful singing voice, a dark Irish wit, and an oddly encyclopedic memory.
Shane also possesses a keen instinct for survival and combat-hardened fighting skills, both of which will prove crucial as dangers mount, allies abandon them, enemies multiply—and the real forces behind the stolen book’s worldwide success reveal themselves.
It turns out, however, that Georgie isn’t the only one on a cross-country quest. Shane is on a journey all his own, far beyond even Georgie’s imagining.
Genre: Science Fiction
