     Ever wondered what happened to Day and June after they broke up at the end of the second book, Prodigy? Did both of them regret it or just one of them? If you haven't read the previous books then read them first before going onto this book and to get a full understanding of it. After Day and June broke up they went their separate ways. Day continued to work for the Republic as an agent that goes undercover to complete certain missions. June takes the job as a Princeps-Elect and stays near Anden. As time goes by ever since June and Day separated, Day is on the other side of the Republic while Day doesn't know that June and Anden is getting closer to each other. While Day is on a mission, another agent contacts him through an earpiece saying that he's invited to another Republican party but he declines again, then June cuts in and asks him so Day accepts. Will Anden and June be together? Will Day forget about June and go on his own or will he take June back? Before reading this book I recommend reading the first two books of the series, but also I recommend this book 1000000% to anyone. If you have read the first two books it was interesting and you can't stop, BUT for this book you get closer and closer to the book and you can't keep your eyes off of the book even if there's food. The author literally grabs your mind mentally and won't let go of it until your done or have to go. There isn't only fierce romance but there is also a lot of jealousy in the love triangle of the two "Mr. Perfects" for the one "Mrs. Perfect." The author uses a lot of details in a small section. "Dark red hair, different enough from my usual white-blond, cut to just past my shoulders and pulled back into a tail. Green contacts that look natural when layered over by blue eyes. A crumbled half-tucked collar shirt, its tiny silver buttons shinning in the dark, a thin military jacket, black pants and steel-tossed boots, a thick gray scarf wrapped around my neck, chin, and mouth. A dark soldier cap is pulled low over my forehead, and a crimson, painted tattoo stretches all over the left half of my face, changing me into someone unfamiliar." Also while you are reading, she makes you visualize all the actions and places she is describing. "I sit in a balcony overlooking the courtroom's round stage, my hands restless in their white silk gloves, my body constantly shifting in my vest and black ruffled coat, my boots quietly tapping against the balcony pillars. My chair is made out of synthetic oak and cushioned with soft, scarlet velvet". I recommend this book to anyone who likes difficult romances and challenging world saving missions.
