Jubilee Chase and Flynn Cormac should never have met.

Lee is captain of the forces sent to Avon to crush the terraformed planet’s rebellious colonists, but she has her own known reasons for hating the insurgents.

Rebellion is in Flynn’s bloodstream. His sister passed away in the original uprising against the effective corporate and business conglomerate that guidelines Avon with an iron fist. These corporations make their lot of money by terraforming uninhabitable planets across the world and recruiting colonists to help make the planets livable, with the promise of an improved life for their children. However they never fulfilled their promise on Avon, and years later, Flynn is normally leading the rebellion.

Desperate for any advantage against the military occupying his home, Flynn does the only thing that makes feeling when he and Lee mix pathways: he earnings to foundation with her as prisoner. But mainly because his fellow rebels prepare to perform this tough-talking girl with nerves of metal, Flynn makes another choice that may change him permanently. He and Lee get away base together, caught between two sides in a senseless war.
