This dystopian novel made for a fast-paced, highly compelling read.

FROM AMAZON: Before the war, Eden’s life was easy. Then the revolution happened, and everything changed.

Now a powerful group called the Wolfpack controls the earth and its resources. And even though Eden has lost everything to them, she refuses to die by their hands.
