Nineteen-year-old Melanie Snow is desperate to untangle what happened the night her parents died. Their employer-the most powerful weapons manufacturer in the country-swears the deaths were a tragic workplace accident, but details in the police reports don't add up. Worse, the authorities refuse to answer her questions.

Something bigger is going on, and Mel won't stop until she uncovers the truth.

Tommy Williams has belonged to the Resistance ever since the night he saw Mel's parents murdered alongside his own. He knows who's responsible: a homegrown extremist group called the Organization. The memories eat him alive, but it's too late to act. There's nothing he can do to make up for failing to save their lives.

Not until he learns Mel is centered in the Organization's crosshairs.

Tommy defies orders and risks his life to warn her, but Mel refuses to run. Instead, she pledges herself to the Resistance to earn information-and to take down the people responsible for her parents' deaths. But the group do not trust her, and it's not long before Mel finds herself caught in a web of secrets and lies.

As the target on her back grows, so too do her feelings for Tommy. And one thing soon becomes clear: if Mel can't stand against the Organization alone, innocent blood will spill.

Including Tommy's.
