SYNOPSIS
Seventeen-year-old Riven comes from a world ravaged by a devastating android war. There’s no room for softness, no room for emotion, no room for mistakes. A Legion General in a parallel universe to Earth, Riven has everything: rank, responsibility and respect. But when Prince Cale sends her away to find his long-lost brother, who has been spirited back to modern day Earth, Riven finds herself in uncharted territory.

Thrown out of her comfort zone but with the mindset of a soldier, Riven has to learn how to be a girl in a realm that is the opposite of what she knows. Riven isn’t prepared for the beauty of a world that is unlike her own in so many ways. Nor is she prepared to feel something more than indifference for the very target she seeks. Caden is nothing like Cale, but he makes something in her come alive, igniting a spark deep down that goes against every cell in her body. For the first time in her life, Riven isn’t sure about her purpose, about her calling. Torn between duty and desire, she must decide whether Caden is simply a target or whether he is something more.
