She is a Dog - one of the many children and teens across the empire of Ansborn who have been sentenced to fight in the arenas. There they fight in battle after battle until they die for the sport of the people of Ansborn - an empire built atop the peaks of five mountains. But one day she picks up a knife, and everything changes. She discovers she is a Greater Gift - one of a handful of magic users with powers so great they have only two choices.

Human extinction is inevitable - there is no going back. The pox spread quickly, within weeks everyone was dead - everyone except Harper McKenzie. Barely 15, Harper is an orphan, but a true survivor - life made her that way. An autistic loner, suffering years of physical and emotional abuse at the hands of her alcoholic mother, Harper seems remarkably undamaged, but can anyone hope to survive a lifetime of isolation without descending into madness?

Sword thought it was over. She thought that when she killed the Chancellor and ended the corrupt reign of the Emperor, that everything would get better. That the suffering would end in Ansborn. That the people would be free. But now a new terror has been born. A trio of warriors who live only for vengeance, who know only hate, have set their sights on Sword and on those she holds dear. They are powerful, they are deadly, and they are impossible to kill.

Safety is an illusion. We're back to where we started - two sisters living under a government we can't trust. The rest of our friends are either dead or missing. Texas should be our haven, our escape from the British. But what if we've traded one prison for another?

My name is Dawn Nolan, and I've grown up on the streets of military-controlled London. The one person in my life I could always count on has been taken from me. Gabby is combative, pushy, a real pain - but she's the reason I've survived this long. She's my sister. And now she's gone.
