Synopsis

THE NEXT INSTALLMENT IN THE BESTSELLING CONFORM SERIES

Reeling from major upheaval as her ties to the rebellion threaten to be revealed, Emeline must decide where her loyalties — and her heart — lie.

The game is simple: Who loves her more. The winner lives and the loser dies.

Emeline wakes in the clouds to a terrible reality. The rebellion has fallen. Hal has been captured, her life tied to his in a twisted game of the Illum leader’s creation. And Emeline must serve the procreation contract with her Mate, Collin, the youngest member of the Illum. But in the clouds, you can only trust what you see, not what they say — and the fight is far from over.

Determined to set things right, Emeline begins to gather allies new and old, leading her to shocking discoveries about the true nature of the rebellion. Everyone above and beneath is carrying secrets, and the efforts to bring down the Illum run deeper than Emeline could have imagined. The truth will shake things to the very core.

The revolution is here . . . and it might cost her everything.
