Description

From award-winning screenwriter of The Hunger Games movies
Billy Ray comes an immersive and breathtaking enemies-to-lovers
epic romance about war, loyalty and the power that love has
to save … or destroy.
The year is 2425 and London is underwater.

Three hundred years ago, rising oceans drowned a vast majority
of the English Isle. London is now a jungle of dead skyscrapers
and submerged streets. Fighting over the scraps of a world none can
remember, two Houses – the Crowns and the Rogues – have been at
war for three centuries.

Rafe is the Rogue army’s fiercest captain. Jule is the
Crown army’s deadliest soldier. They are vicious and merciless,
courageous and beloved by their Houses. They are sworn
enemies.

And then they fall in love.

It’s a death sentence. But their love is all-consuming. As Rafe
and Jule try to keep each other alive in their war-torn world,
they are forced to confront new, horrifying threats. When mysterious
foreigners appear on their shores, the warring factions may destroy
each other, unless their two most ruthless soldiers can show
their people a different way and save them all.

A thrilling, war-torn, enemies-to-lovers romance set in future
London

This is YA dystopian Romeo & Juliet as two
rival soldiers risk everything they’ve ever known to fall in love

Perfect for fans of Shatter Me, the Delirium
triology and Lightlark.
