When the United States of America crumbles under civilian protests and riots, a new United America rises from the ashes… After a reformation, United America runs like a well-oiled machine. Solar power trumps fossil fuels, strict laws keep crime at an all-time low, and at sixteen, residents are assigned their role in society—and fulfill it without complaints. But unbeknownst to the citizens, they are also under constant monitoring, and reigning President Vaughn has eyes in every sector of the gleaming country. When Rosaline Thatcher turns sixteen, it is time to receive her position in society… When President Vaughn calls Rosaline to the stage, she dutifully follows orders. Though she dare not disobey, it’s unclear why she is being singled out. As she passes her best friend, Wesley, she’s reminded of what’s at stake. With her new role, she could be torn from her friends and family forever. Rosaline goes from ordinary citizen to leader of the free world… Shocked and overwhelmed, Rosaline can’t understand why she was chosen for the most vital position of all. But with great power comes great responsibility, and with the help of those closest to her, the fate of their thriving country rests in her hands. When she discovers a secret location only known as the O.C., the United America Rosaline thought she knew may turn out to be history’s greatest fraud… In a society where citizens obey without question, what will happen when one girl dares to defy, and what will that mean for United America?

A young visionary proves to be what United America needed all along… After successfully reinstating harmony to all sectors of United America, Rosaline must now bring her plan to fruition. But such a huge undertaking has never been achieved by such a young president, and the task is riddled with obstacles. It will take everything Rosaline has to rise to the challenge, or the stress of the job and personal tragedy threaten to ruin her. Whether you think you can, or think you can’t—you’re right… Westley Sanders always has a plan. With the help of data, knowledge, and his best friend Rosaline, he destroys any challenge set before him. But when Rosaline drifts away on a path of her own, he is faced with a new and uncertain future. Can a man who has always turned to rational thought survive in a world of radical emotions? Or will his hyper-intelligence be his ultimate downfall? The expansion and preservation of a new, better world lies in the hands of two unlikely teenagers… With both Westley and Rosaline facing their own struggles, responsibility tears them apart—Rosaline on a mission to integrate and expand the O.C., and Westley on a journey to find himself in an unsure world. With patriotism, duty, and love at stake, there is no task too small, and every decision will be a factor in the complete destruction of the free world—or the ultimate victory of total unity.

At just sixteen, Rosaline Thatcher is the leader of the free world—but United America has dark secrets to conceal. After adjusting to her new presidential title, Rosaline slips into her role with gusto and works to make United America the best it can be. What she didn’t expect was to discover a secret compound, simply referred to as the O.C. When Rosaline orders the presidential council to explain, they refuse to provide answers, forcing Rosaline to take matters into her own hands. Rosaline travels to the O.C., but finds more questions than answers. Deemed an Outcast territory, Rosaline falls in love with the kind, gracious people of the secret division. When she meets key residents of the O.C., they reveal the Ministry had banned them forever once they chose to leave. Now, as ruler, Rosaline is faced with the depth of United America’s corruption. When she meets Dex, an unconventional but intriguing member of the O.C, a shocking revelation unfolds... Dex doesn’t hold an ounce of traditional charm. Covered in scars and wearing a permanent scowl, he shows glimpses of tenderness only toward his younger sister. But there is more to Dex than he is willing to reveal, and his secrets may bring the downfall of United America. Will Rosaline stay in the O.C., where she is free of the pressures of presidential responsibilities? Or will she return to her position and take on the Council?
