So Lost Are the Foes

Don't take it for granted.

Twenty-year-old L a Young is hungry... again. Weeks after returning to the Rift Zone, she finds herself back where she started: in a scramble for resources in post-apocalyptic Kenyonville. This time, though, she has allies. Not that it helps much. If Viktor tries to make her eat one more lousy pine needle, she's going to scream.

When L a and her friends learn about an unexpected power shift in their small town, they decide to risk allying themselves with a new boss. What do they have to lose? But when chasing that alliance dredges up a staggering secret from the past, L a finds herself having to make an unthinkable decision.

She never expected to love the members of her post-Rift family so much.

And she certainly never imagined she'd have to give one of them up.
