*Trigger warning included.

They might destroy each other if the war doesn't first.

Three best friends.
Two sides of a war.
One decision that will forever change their lives.

The world is full of sickness and war, segregated into Golden and Dreg, rich and poor. This way of life is all three high school seniors have ever known. Now, newly graduated, the three best friends long to ignore the turmoil around them and find careers for themselves like their classmates but growing political and social unrest won't allow that. For Stone, Moss, and Deja, each will suffer a personal tragedy that forces them into the chaos.

Stone and Moss find themselves on the same side of the war but for different reasons. Their growing resentment and jealousy shredded any lingering friendship they shared in high school. Meanwhile, Deja is on the other side of the war—the side that lacks resources and power. Her capable skills get her noticed which pits her further against her former friends.

Will their choices end up defining who they are? Or will who they become destroy them altogether?
