Illea is a nation in transition. Queen America and king Maxon have their hands full, not only trying to rule their country but also trying to guide their children through a life filled with many obstacles. Despite the extended period of peace there are unknown forces lurking in the shifting Illean shadows. How will the royal children handle the changing Illea?

I'm just dying to read 'The One,' so I decided to fill the time until it comes out by telling my own version of events. Will America regain Maxon's trust? What or who are the rebels, really? How far will the King go to ensure that America never sees the crown? What is the mystery behind the Queen? Can America save a country on the brink of destruction?
