Instead, she breaks all the rules fed to her, flees through the sewers, and assumes the identity of her dead brother. That's when the Rebels pick her up—a group of teenage boys determined to change the status quo… or so they claim. Isa isn’t sure she can trust them. All she's ever heard is that they’re faking what they stand for.
Among the Rebels, Isa becomes someone she never thought she could be. She's confident, she's a fighter, and she’s slowly learning all that she's missed out on. But when she starts falling for Roan—the fierce, haunted rebel leader—her double life grows dangerously thin. Not to mention, there is a traitor among them, and boys are dying because of him.
As the days pass, the man she was betrothed to creeps closer and closer to discovering her whereabouts. If she’s found, she's dead—but keeping the truth from Roan is killing her anyway.
Gritty, romantic, and crackling with tension, The Rebellion is a razor-sharp dystopian debut for fans of Disney's Mulan, The Hunger Games, and Divergent.
