In a city ruled by lies, love is treason-and power comes at a deadly costEllie was never meant to matter. In the Golden Citadel, only Warriors are allowed to lead, and girls like her are meant to obey. But when Ellie uncovers a hidden power long erased from the city's history, she is thrust into a brutal struggle for control of the Citadel itself. Now Ellie must claim the truth of her forbidden power as a Shield and stand against the leaders who erased her kind from history.
But revolution is only the beginning. With enemies inside the city, rival kingdoms circling beyond its walls, and her bond with warrior Mace Hardfield strong enough to break them both, Ellie must decide what she's willing to sacrifice: the boy she loves, or the freedom of an entire people.
For fans of Red Queen, An Ember in the Ashes, and Fourth Wing.
