+February 19th, 2013
Zoe is free. She has
escaped the enslavement of the Community, disconnected from the hardware
that had controlled her every thought and emotion, and evaded capture
by the Chancellor intent on killing her. She is finally free, but she is
far from safe.
Zoe and Adrien hide themselves from detection at the Foundation, an academy that trains teen glitchers to fight in the Resistance movement. Together, Zoe and her new team of superhuman fighters must risk their lives to rescue other glitchers and humans from the Chancellor's control. Challenges abound at every turn, and Adrien, who has become silent, distant, and tormented by his visions of the future, only adds to the growing certainty of defeat. But worst of all, as Zoe's team fights against impossible odds, distrust and betrayal leads to the terrible discovery that their greatest threat could already be lurking behind the safe walls of the Foundation

Sixteen year old
Evangeline “Evie” Greene leads a charmed life, until she begins
experiencing horrifying hallucinations. When an apocalyptic event
decimates her Louisiana hometown, Evie realizes her hallucinations were
actually visions of the future—and they’re still happening. Fighting for
her life and desperate for answers, she must turn to her
wrong-side-of-the-bayou classmate: Jack Deveaux.
But she can’t do either alone.
With his mile-long rap sheet, wicked grin, and bad attitude, Jack is like no boy Evie has ever known. Even though he once scorned her and everything she represented, he agrees to protect Evie on her quest. She knows she can’t totally depend on Jack. If he ever cast that wicked grin her way, could she possibly resist him?
Who can Evie trust?
As Jack and Evie race to find the source of her visions, they meet others who have gotten the same call. An ancient prophesy is being played out, and Evie is not the only one with special powers. A group of twenty-two teens has been chosen to reenact the ultimate battle between good and evil. But it’s not always clear who is on which side
