Ascendant

di Susy Smith (Autore)

Babylon Books, 2023

A splintered government … The United States Government lay in ashes. The president declares martial law. The National Guard round up citizens who are never heard from again. Amongst the fear and chaos, a small band of revolutionaries rise up to resist… An untried girl … Lacy Monroe, fresh out of high school, has never considered herself a leader. All that changes after the Big Crash. When her family flees to California, she remains behind, guarding the last piece of free land in Oklahoma. Holding out against the hostile military police proves harder than she ever imagined. Then an old friend turns her world upside-down… And a secret that could destroy everything … Jace Cooper's life is crumbling around him. His parents have been murdered, his older brother is acting sketchy as hell, and his best friend's sister, Lacy, is living alone on her family farm. He's hidden his true feelings for Lacy for years. As their world teeters on a razor's edge, all he wants to do is protect her and stay with her. With the National Guard circling ever closer, hunger and sickness taking a toll, and betrayal and jealousy threatening to destroy the group from within, the struggle to hold onto the farm pushes them to the brink. Lacy is keeping a secret so devastating it could drive Jace to do the unthinkable. Is the farm a safe asylum—or will the fight for freedom destroy them?
