Official synopsis Publisher
They chose survival…but at what cost? A fast-paced, empowering YA dystopian novel for anyone who’s ever felt betrayed, then came back stronger. The sequel to The Warning.
Senior year would have been stressful enough without an apocalypse. When the holograms arrived, allegedly offering safe passage to those who stepped through their vertexes, Alexandra Lucas thought going or staying would be the hardest decision of her life. She was wrong.
Because she is the one person who knows the truth, a truth that will change everything: the holograms lied.
Alex can’t deny this new world is mesmerizing. Holo technology lets her customize everything from her clothes to her surroundings. But she can’t let it distract her from searching for her boyfriend, best friend, and brother. They need to know what happened. Because there’s a rebellion brewing, and every utopia has a breaking point. What price must they all pay to survive?
