Three hundred years ago, rising oceans drowned a vast majority

and submerged streets. Fighting over the scraps of a world none can

remember, two Houses - the Crowns and the Rogues - have been at

war for three centuries.

Rafe is the Rogue army's fiercest captain. Jule is the

Crown army's deadliest soldier. They are vicious and merciless,

courageous and beloved by their Houses. They are sworn

enemies.

And then they fall in love.

It's a death sentence. But their love is all-consuming. As Rafe

and Jule try to keep each other alive in their war-torn world,

they are forced to confront new, horrifying threats. When mysterious

foreigners appear on their shores, the warring factions may destroy

each other, unless their two most ruthless soldiers can show

their people a different way and save them all.
