une and Day have escaped, but they're certainly not safe yet. They join forces with the Patriots who will help Day, for a price - and the price is to assassinate the new Elector Primo. The enemy from the first book has died and his son Anden now rules. June discovers that Anden is not the man his father is, and wants to convince Day of this fact. The story moved along quite well with the assassination plot as the main piece, but there was also a visit to the Colonies, and a look at what life outside the Republic could be (not as great as you might have thought). 
 I'm curious to see what book 3 brings, since the major enemy is gone - where do you go from here? I also could have done with out the whole love triangle, suddenly Tess loves Day and whines about it constantly. Oh well, the book overall was fun to read, and I look forward to the next book.
