Love is a crime and freedom is a dream in Province 5-9, but Ren isn't playing by the rules.

There are only three contestants left. With no clear path to freedom for any of them, Ren is almost out of time and choices. Almost.

She has one chance of salvation: the rebels.

If she can find them.

In the highly-anticipated sequel to Glitter and Kindling, Ren navigates the dangers of the Council and the growing rebellion as she fights for a future worth living for.

The stakes are higher than ever. Ren must decide where her loyalties lie, especially when she does the one thing she forbade herself from doing…

…falling in love.

With a heart divided, she is forced to confront the harsh realities of choosing between the love she never imagined and the freedom she could gain.

Both could be possible if she's willing to risk everything and everyone she cares about. However, rebellion comes at a cost, and her choice could change the future of her province.

The lines are drawn, but which side will she choose?
