The old world is gone forever. And this is our last chance to create a new one... Sixteen years ago, the old world collapsed, and I was born into a time of chaos. I've been one of the lucky ones, living safely behind the thick walls of the Perimeter. But now an evil force is threatening to tear down everything we've built here. Our existence is hanging in the balance. Cold, calculating James Gray and his army are trying to destroy the peaceful community we've worked so hard to create. We can't run from it. We must confront it. This will be the final battle, the final chance to save our world - and ourselves. Standing on top of one of the lookout posts, I take a deep breath and brace myself for what is to come. I wish I'd told Luc how much I love him, because now it might be too late. Will we both make it out of this alive? And will our world be changed for the better, or fractured forever?
