Baalboden has been ravaged.
The Commander's whereabouts are unknown. And with a ragged group of survivors struggling to stay alive, it's up to Logan to become the leader they need - with Rachel by his side. Under constant threat from rival city-state Carrington's army, which is after the device that controls the Cursed One, the group leaves their home and takes their chances in the Wasteland.
But soon their problems intensify tenfold: Someone - possibly inside their ranks - is sabotaging the survivors, picking them off one by one. The chaos puts unbearable strain on Rachel and Logan, and it isn't long before they feel their love splintering. And soon the group begins to question whether the price of freedom may be too great - and whether they can make it out of the Wasteland alive.
In this daring sequel to Defiance, with the world they once loved forever destroyed, Rachel and Logan must decide between a life on the run and standing their ground to fight.
