The Penultimate War brought upon the end of the world with one country left standing: Buresca. Left with wastelands and radiation, a dome was built to contain the best of humanity, a chance for the world to start again. Amelia has lived her whole life within the Lex district - one of the four districts within Buresca's dome. Life is perfect with two chancellors as her parents, her best friend Chester, and a world of perfection and beauty as was intended. And it is her duty to ensure the vision for Buresca's future continues - one that involves the expansion of Buresca's glory. They didn't think anyone survived the rockets. No one should have survived. And yet, they did. After an attack on the dome - by Levi Brooks, a boy bent on revenge - Amelia finds herself hostage to the Outskirts and far away from home. Chaos rains as secrets that were meant to stay buried are uncovered and at the center of the oncoming storm stands Levi. Amelia has a choice: find her way home, reestablish peace, and make Levi disappear, or fall into the currents of the dying world's collapse.
