About the book

It kills you when you have it. And when you don't. The old life is dead. But the old Lena is dead too. I buried her. I left her beyond a fence, behind a wall of smoke and flame. Lena Haloway's been to the very edge. She's questioned everything she's ever been taught and fought for love and the life-changing and agonising emotions that come with it. But now, while she may have escaped the tyranny of the government, she is headng into the heart of something that could be just as dangerous - a growing resistance movement where the sparks of a revolution are about to ignite... Lena made her decision. But can she survive the consequences? 'Reminds us just how important love is. Devour it, then go and give all your friends a big hug.' Heat 'Prepare to become completely absorbed.' Glamour
