The United States is no longer the United States. It is the Republic of America
(west coast and "good guys") and the Patriots (east coast and "enemy/terrorists").
June is a prodigy of the Republic; at her trials, which are taken at ten and decide what career and or school children can attend, she scored a perfect 1500 out of 1500. She attended the best school in the country four years early, graduated a year early and is training to be one of the country's best soldiers.
Day is the Republic's most wanted criminal and the police haven't been able to catch him.
The two come from opposite worlds, but will meet when June has to hunt Day as he becomes the target of June's brother's murder. Together they will uncover startling secrets about their country that were meant to stay hidden. June and Day have to work together to stay alive and outsmart the government without
getting others hurt in the process.
This dystopian fiction is a great read filled with action and some romance. It is also the first book in the
Legend series by Marie Lu.
