A daring escape entangles her with the young rebel leader, Tobias, and she is swept into a world of rival factions and secret alliances. Caught amongst the enemy, she must decide who to save. Worst of all, Tobias' compassionate nature turns her perceptions of the insurgents upside down.

Very good YA read

I enjoyed listening to this audiobook. This YA read was packed full of action and adventure. A hint of romance but not the focus of the story. I'd recommend to any young reader who is interested in fantasy.
