 June and Day have worked hard for this moment. The Republic is at peace. The Elector has been accepted by the people - thanks to Day's influence - and things seem to be going back on track. The Republic is even in negotiations with the Colonies for a peace treaty. The war is over...or is it? The Colonies back away from the bargaining table because a new plague has started spreading through their ranks and they believe the Republic is the one that unleashed it. Now, they refuse to negotiate peace terms. The only thing they will negotiate is the Republic' surrender. 
 June and the Elector know that the cure to all their problems rests with Day's brother Eden who survived the latest plague. But trying to talk to Day about testing on his brother is next to impossible. He won't do it. Not again especially now that he's down to months to live instead of a year. But the Colonies are closing in with help from Africa and the only people that the Republic can turn to for help - Antarctica - won't step in until there is a cure. 
 Okay, so it's been known that this series hasn't really been one of my favorites and usually I would have given up by now and let this series go unfinished. But, I figured, I've already read the first two books, the third one can't get much worse, right? As it turns out, yes, it can't. In fact, I actually liked this book the most out of the three.
