June and Day arrive in Vegas just as the unthinkable happens: the Elector Primo dies, and his son Anden takes his place. With the Republic edging closer to chaos, the two join a group of Patriot rebels eager to help Day rescue his brother and offer passage to the Colonies. They have only one request - June and Day must assassinate the new Elector. It's their chance to change the nation, to give voice to a people silenced for too long. But as June realizes this Elector is nothing like his father, she's haunted by the choice ahead. What if Anden is a new beginning? What if revolution must be more than loss and vengeance, anger and blood - what if the Patriots are wrong?

      Immediately after the events of LEGEND, June and Day are on the run from the Republic. They manage to contact the rebel Patriots, who are are planning to assassinate the Republic's new Elector. The rebels demand the duo's help as payment for keeping them safe and for healing Day's wounded leg. Mariel Stern and Steven Kaplan narrate in alternating chapters. Stern's narrative voice sounds young and chirpy, but she's adept at switching to older characters. Although Kaplan's narration can be slow paced, he excels at portraying intense emotions. He deftly performs pleasant young men, growly older men, as well as nuanced female characters. The cliff-hanger ending will leave listeners eager for the concluding volume. G.D.

      Starred review from November 26, 2012
      The characters are known, world-building is complete, and readers know the destination is still out of reach. It’s the second book of a trilogy—how will the author handle it? Lu opts for a high simmer of intrigue in her sequel to Legend. June and Day are crucial pawns in the game of political plot and counterplot as power at the top of the Republic changes hands. Love must take a backseat: for Day, to family and friends; and for June, to the greater good that is her lodestone now that her family is dead. The pair is separated for much of the book, and talk dominates action—the world-shaping machinations are the means to bring about a more personal, subtle pivot in the story. June and Day were once divided by ignorance and circumstance; now they are held apart by principle and choice. The portrayal of their dilemma is taut and insightful, and while the story line resembles a high plateau of tension rather than a conventional arc, there are enough unfolding questions to propel the narrative to its aching ending. Ages 12–up. Agent: Kristin Nelson, Nelson Literary Agency.
