Labels like racist, homophobic, misogynistic, anti-intellectual, and partisan are how the church has come to be portrayed in today’s media.

In the aftermath of the Fracture's riots and explosions that rocked St. Paul, Ivan must fight to survive as his world crumbles around him. Everything he's known has changed, and when he returns to the palace, he will discover that lies and deceit stalk its halls. With the royal family split from within, Ivan and Julia find themselves at the heart of a conspiracy that threatens to tear apart their country.

The king is dead, and a void now sits at the heart of the monarchy. Ivan ended the Preus family's coup and disabled the government's surveillance cameras, but his identity was revealed in the process. Now, he must pay for the sins of Coyote, as Julia mourns the loss of her father. With the militia in shambles, thousands of Reds being hauled off to die in work camps, and a new, brutal force rising in the heart of the city, the situation in St. Paul is dire.

Ivan is a fighter. He's never been afraid to do whatever it takes to protect the people he loves, even if it means putting himself in danger. And as a rebel Militia leader code-named Coyote, that's a daily occurrence. Five years ago, Ivan failed the Prism Test and became a Red, a slave on the lowest level of the color-coded class system. But he knows the truth. Nothing matters but your family's loyalty to the People's Front government. And the Militia is the only family he's ever needed.

Receiving letters by post or via e-mail has always been important to me. Even now I feel slightly disappointed if the postman passes the door without anything for me, even though I know the chances are it will be a bill, a parking fine, a bank statement or a catalogue offering me clothing or garden furniture. The same applies when my inbox is empty save for someone offering a deal on a used car or urging me to change my energy provider.
