Summary:
Everything about Seventeen’s life is perfect, from her genetics, to her home in Sanctuary, to her status as a Breeder in the Unified World Order. But all that changes when she meets a rogue Enforcer named Pax, who infiltrates Sanctuary and targets her for extraction from the Controlled Repopulation Program. Pax seems to know a little too much about her, and he plants dangerous doubts in her mind that accuse Sanctuary of hiding a dark secret, and that cause Seventeen to question everything she’s ever known.
When Seventeen’s life is threatened, she has little choice but to run away from Sanctuary with Pax. But for Breeders, contact with men is forbidden by law, and even the simple act of taking Pax’s hand is treason.
Mired in confusion, Seventeen travels with Pax to the outside world and takes the name Pria, the identity of her childhood. But she is far from certain she’s made the right decision when they discover an entire community of people who should no longer exist.
Seventeen, now Pria, is thrust into a position as a key player in a dangerous bid to bring down the Unified World Order. Meanwhile, Pax’s attachment to her and her growing attraction to him contribute to the ever-growing mysteries in her life.
Pria’s journey from a sheltered, naïve Breeder to a rebel agent requires not only external transformation but self-discovery. As her world crumbles, Pria must decide who she is and what she really believes.
But the truth comes at a cost, and uncovering it will require a greater treason than she could ever have imagined.
Extracting a Breeder. The way he says it makes me sound like a means to an end, which is what I’ve always been to Pax, if I’m honest with myself.
Luther holds out his hand, and Pax lays his wrist in Luther’s palm. Luther presses his fingertips to Pax’s pulse again.
“How did you get in and out of Sanctuary all this time?”“I didn’t,”Pax says. “I lived there.”
I gasp, and then I laugh out loud. “No. No way.”Etienne snorts, and Celine lets out a chuckle.
Luther raises an eyebrow and looks at me, then back at Pax.
“There are no men allowed in Sanctuary,”I say. “There’s no way he could have lived there undetected.”
“Explain,”Luther says to Pax, who hasn’t looked at me, despite my outburst.
“I only had to get in once,”Pax says. “I did that about a year ago. Enforcers do enter Sanctuary, but only through the basement, where the labs are located.”
I’m about to laugh again, but Luther looks so grave I swallow it.
“But how did you remain undetected for so long?”Luther says.
“There are places beneath Sanctuary where few people ever go. It wasn’t that difficult to find a place to hide, and I was careful about covering my tracks. The medical staff turns over every two weeks, so even if I was spotted by one of them, they had no reason to think I wasn’t one of the sanctioned Enforcers who work from time to time in the labs. By the time they could have grown suspicious, they were moving on. From the basement of Sanctuary, I learned the passcodes, hacked the system, and gathered information on all the Breeders I could.”
“All to get here.”
“All to get here.”
“Simple,”Luther says.
Pax narrows his eyes. “Hardly.”
“And what do you plan on doing now that you’re here?”Luther asks with a tilt of his head.
Pax leans in. “I plan on helping you execute your revolution.”
