Weeks before high school graduation, Emerson Wesler and Gabriel Marconne’s lives are shattered when a devastating explosion destroys Gabe’s home and leaves his parents presumed dead.
Before they can even process what happened, a secret agency known as Faction 73 arrives at their school with a terrifying warning:
The country is under attack.
By the end of the day, Emerson, Gabe, and eleven other students are forcibly recruited and taken to a hidden training facility.
There, the rules are simple: Obey. Train. Prepare for war.
Inside Faction 73, there are no second chances.
Students who can’t keep up disappear. Questions are punished. And the deeper Emerson and Gabe dig into the agency’s secrets, the more horrifying the truth becomes.
Because advancing to field agent isn’t freedom. It’s something far worse.
