First published 2013
Adam can barely focus on anything except his shattered relationship with Juliette. Omega Point readies for battle against Reestablishment forces in Sector 45, but Adam's mind stays fixed on his personal losses. He worries about his best friend's survival and his younger brother James's safety. The weight of everything makes him question whether this resistance life suits him at all. Then the alarms blare. War begins now. The battlefield initially favors the rebels, but defeating Warner proves far more complex than expected. Warner is Adam's half brother, a revelation that complicates everything. The Reestablishment refuses to accept any challenge to their authority. They will destroy the entire rebellion, no matter the cost. Every person Adam loves becomes a target. This story unfolds during the climactic events of Unravel Me, showing the same dramatic moments through Adam's eyes. His perspective reveals the personal cost of revolution when family bonds cross enemy lines.
