It’s not every day a girl learns she’s not entirely human.Ava Michaels’ once-hidden powers are strong enough to make even the First Race take notice. After surviving an attempted kidnapping and standing up to the Race’s Ruling Council, Ava returns to college and what she hopes is a normal life. But for Ava, normal may not exist anymore.The Council wants her under their control, and they’re not the only ones. The mysterious Rogues have a plan of their own, and it turns out Ava’s a big part of it, whether she wants to be or not.On top of that, her boyfriend, Caleb Foster, has disappeared—accused of betraying the Race—and Ava herself stands implicated in a crime she didn’t commit.Clearing both their names will mean uncovering a web of deceit with Ava woven right in the center. To unravel the strands, she joins forces with some unlikely allies; a Protector who once haunted her nightmares, a young girl with secrets as unexpected as Ava’s, and a group of rebel Guardians who have their own fight against the Council.Together they stand in a battle to find the truth, bring Caleb home, and secure Ava’s freedom—not to mention save her life.

In the underground city of New London, there is precious little to dream about, and seeing the sun is as likely as escaping her life as a tunnel rat, but a girl can dream. Then, the earthquake hits…Communication and power from the life sustaining solar towers on the surface goes down, bringing food production to a halt.In the resulting chaos, Emily stumbles into the opportunity of a lifetime – joining an expedition to the surface. If successful, her dreams could become reality, but the surface is a frozen wasteland filled with unknown dangers. Emily fears the journey is a one-way trip. None of the rag-tag crew of tunnel rats is prepared, however, for what they find on the surface. Suddenly, the environment is the least of their worries.

Their worlds were as different as night and day: Larry was the child of lower-middle-class white parents, and Silas, the son of a poor, black single mother. But then Larry took a girl to a drive-in movie and she was never seen or heard from again. He never confessed . . . and was never charged. More than twenty years have passed. Larry lives a solitary, shunned existence, never able to rise above the whispers of suspicion. Silas has become the town constable. And now another girl has disappeared, forcing two men who once called each other "friend" to confront a past they've buried for decades.
