"Thirty young women. A handsome prince. A battle to the death. Water is scarce. Deserts have taken over the land. Nuclear war has devastated humanity. Humans live in walled super cities to keep out the irradiated. The land that was formerly known as America is divided into kingdoms ruled by royal elites. Born into the lowest Echelon of the Kingdom of Phangloria, sixteen-year-old Zea Calico faces a life of hunger, thirst, and toil. The only way out...

Zea resumes her role as a spy but this time against the people she once pledged her loyalty--the Red Runners. Rescuing Prince Kevon won't be easy, especially when suspicion plagues Zea's every step. She also doesn't know how the prince will react to learning her terrible truth. Lies are uncovered, hearts broken ... Can Zea and Prince Kevon overcome their differences, save Phangloria and find love?
