About this listen

From author Leah Vernon comes the action-packed second installment in the Union series about a young woman’s battle for power in a racially divided futuristic world.

A thousand years into the future, a Black elite class reigns while the underclass toils at their feet. With her society’s future hanging in the balance, young Avi Jore enters into an arranged marriage. But the ceremony turns violent when the servants rebel and kill Avi’s father.

In the aftermath of General Jore’s death, Avi and her sister Jade vie for power in a vicious contest. As the rightful heir, Avi has no choice but to defend what’s hers—at any cost. With her loyalties tested and her enemies closing in, Avi must rely on her sister Saige, who searches for allies outside the Union’s walls.

As Avi and Saige navigate threats and betrayals in the wake of worsening unrest, they forge a path forward that could forever change their turbulent world.

Critic Reviews

“Vernon's dystopian novel…is expertly narrated by the vocal acting talents of co-narrators Alaska Jackson, Sisi Aisha Johnson, and Kirby Heyborne. Of special and particular interest to science fiction fans.”Midwest Book Review

“This quick-paced, violent, and at times heart-wrenching fantasy and sf blend will have readers at the edge of their seat as multiple, often flawed, perspectives navigate a war sparked by race and an incessant hunger for power. Fans of Susan Collins, N.K. Jemisin, and Pierce Brown will appreciate the world building and the well-developed characters used to present very real and serious topics.”Booklist
